Remember Eric & I met you in Egypt when we were on our 'round the world year trip'?!?!? How funny was it being in Egypt & finding us on a tour, also from DC?!;) I'll never forget when you told us at the dam stop that you thought you ate 'old tough meat' and that the 'beef' was probably more like old camel. I'm pretty sure we experienced it too the next week:( HA!HA! <br /><br />Anyway, I love hearing that you and your wife are taking the plunge & quit your jobs for the adventure! It was during a hike in Cappadoccia, Turkey that we met someone who intrigued us with the idea of our next short term 'stop' (1.5 years) in Saipan, MP (a US Commonwealth in Micronesia near Guam, Japan, the Philippines) where we are now until a yr in St Croix Jan 11. <br /><br />I hope you both have the great fortune we did during our trip. Remember, if it gets tiring moving around so much stay one place a little longer to re-group like we did in Sri Lanka at a perfect, cute beach town called Unawatuna.<br /><br />Also, guard your passport with your life and don't 'lose' it in Vietnam like I did at the end of our trip. It was stolen on a plane from Hoi An -> HCMC (Saigon)!!! I had to go to the police station beg for a police report which no one wanted to write bc it happened out of their jurisdiction in the air (+ tears + translator), back to the US Consulate, to the Vietmanese Visa office, to the US Consulate for my temp passport X 10 visits each on moped(ssss) all while having Dengue Fever, leading to missing my flight - 4 days in Bali (our last stop before returning to the states) while Eric recovered from Dengue with the thump of house music:(<br /><br />We hope to see you both somewhere around the world!!! For Thanksgiving when we're back in DC in Nov we'll be sure to have some turkey, stuffing, mac & cheese and sweet potato pie (last year we had great Indian food in Kerala with my Red Cross colleague), then we'll head out in Dupont for some drinks:) Take care & lots of pics guys!!!<br /><br />Candice Dunston dunstonc@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484716576801976473noreply@blogger.com
