The Adventures of Sarah and Paul
Nov 7th 2006sarahAfrica & Egypt
And the title says it all. It’s the night before Egypt, and we’re ready to go. Just getting the final bits together – sorting out the taxi for tomorrow morning, getting the backpacks filled up, and making sure all the electronics are charged. What else, what else?
How nice is it that the Brits celebrate my birthday in style? Who else gets fireworks galore on their birthday? It’s such a nice way to mark the day. 😉

…to the family.
Some people may know that Paul and I were considering getting a puppy. A sweet little West Highland Terrier. Well, after some time, we came to our senses and decided it may not be the best idea, what with our travel and work lives. However, for my birthday, Paul did get me one! Yep, a sweet little pooch named Hamish. Believe me, he’s as soft as can be and barely makes a sound! He’s the most well behaved puppy ever! How can you not love the fluffy little thing?
There’s an even bigger story surrounding Hamish as well. Paul got him at the Build a Bear workshop. He had to actually make the thing himself! Picked himup, got him stuffed, got him sewn up, was supposed to name and register him on their system there as well, but ran as soon as he could. Such a sweet guy to go through all that just to get me a cuddly toy. Hamish even barks!!
For the time being, Hamish makes the perfect pet. He doesn’t need walked, doesn’t shed, doesn’t jump all over you… what more could we ask for right now? We’ve decided we’ll hold off on buying a real furry little creature until we’ve got the travel bug out of our system.
Either way, how lucky am I that my hubby felt the need to go to such lengths to make me happy?
Hehe, so yes, this is just a little blurb, to let you all know that in one week today, Paul and I will be on a plane headed to Egypt. Yessirree, we’re getting ready for one glorious week. And let me tell you, even though we are both still sick – Paul’s not made it back to work yet!! – we are both looking forward to the week away. Envy us please.
