Vacation / Travel

[DinkinFlicka]

I take your word for it and I I hope you’re area goes untouched. I was reading recently that Columbia is near and u flux of visitors. I know how that goes and it’s not good. I hope your travels are great and relatively untouched.

Have fun my man. I look forward to putting you down later.

Right back atcha

The wife and I are heading over to Kenya again in 4 weeks. Going to layover in London for two days and then hit Ireland (to visit some friends) for 5 days on the way home.

What are you doing in Kenya?

Not quite the same, but I may be going to Botswana for work this year and I don't know whether to take my wife for part of the trip or not.

What'a everyone's experience with checking bags? I always go super light but this go around calls for souvenirs. Is it time consuming? Anyone lost baggage before?

I've lost one bag ever, on the way to basic F'ing training. I guess it was better to happen then instead of on vacation.

Guess who realized they forgot to bring jimmy hats at the worst possible time.

And here I thought you took risks.

Gonna roll the dice with local raincoats from here on out.

Nice. Did you do some wine tasting?

 

[SDV]

Nice. Did you do some wine tasting?

Yeah a couple of places. I was there for a meeting so didn’t have a ton of time.

We went to Walt Wines and Jeff Cohn

Walt makes some darn good pinots.

Solid choices. Walt does make some good Pinots.

Was Jeff Cohn there? He is a character.

Yeah he was there. VERY talkative. Nice guy

I normally try to immerse myself locally instead of mingling with backpackers, but my hiking group (4 Germans, 3 French and a Swiss) are an absolute blast. We've been hitting the cities for the past few nights and it's been great. I stayed out until 4 last night salsa dancing with this beautiful French nurse after everyone else went home.

Taking her to a chef's table meal tonight. Will report back.

She's the blonde on the far left.

We are going for mission work. I’ve been before but my wife hasn’t (she has been all over the place but never Africa).

It’s safe if that is the issue. I’d move to Kenya or Tanzania for a simpler lifestyle in a heart beat if I could get her on board. The kids would be forced to like it!

On my way back to the US after a month in Peru celebrating my wedding and visiting my wife's family.

Spent most of the time in Lima but made trips to Hucachina, Cusco, and Macchu Picchu.

ButchPlz, my wife is also from Peru. Would like to chat with you sometime about it all. We also intend to live there in the future. Can I post an email addy here?

Hey falls! We're currently living here in Cusco. We've been in Peru since last August. Lived two months in Lima then moved to Cusco. We would be happy to answer any of your questions as well.

If you post yours I'll happily share, I'm sure MSME will as well!

I'd post mine but it's my name and I'd prefer not to dox myself further than I have on here in the past.

And with the warm weather making me miss Peru, here's a shot of the desert around Huacachina.
