Vacay

So, this party got me to thinking about where I wanted to take my two-week vacation. As you may or may not know, as part of our work placements with the CIDA and the CBA, we are given 2 weeks of vacation. I am trying to decide where to go. Initially, we were all thinking a trip to Zanzibar, an island in Tanzania with beaches etc. would be fun. We recently discovered however that a flight to Zanzibar alone would cost over $1000. There is also this thought of going to Egypt. I have always wanted to go on a camel ride and visit the Pyramids. Our good friend Sehen said she might come along too – so that would be awesome!

The final plan, subject to CBA and CIDA approval, is to take my whole period of vacation at the end and spend a month in India. This would be a great way to visit my grandmother and spend her 92nd birthday with her. I may just try to do two weeks in India after my job is finished and use my two weeks of vacation to explore Africa. So many ideas – I will let you know what I decide.
