I have been offline for years and decided it was time to jump back into the game. I wanted to start a totally new blog though. If anyone is still getting updates, come check out my new blog dayinthelife73.com I promise I’m just as awesome as I ever was, just older, and perhaps a bit snarkiest.

Back to cruising and photos.
We spent another day at sea after Israel and then ported in Kusadasi (KU-SHA-dah-SEE), Turkey. Indy and I were going to do a long rigorous tour that included loads of walking over uneven ground and cobblestones, so Gigi and Han Solo went off on their own little easy tour.
Turkey was freaking HOT. Seriously.

We were there for 2 days and took the first day off. After our busy days, it was nice to just relax. We hung out by the pool, took naps and ate way more than we probably should have. Calories don't count on vacation, right?
The next day we got up early and headed off toward Bethlehem.

After we left the sumptuous hotel, we headed down toward Memphis and the Necropolis at Saqqara. It was another ridiculously hot day and once again, the traffic was insane. Our bus driver must have either nerves of steel, or the biggest stress hernia in the world.

Well hello my lovely readers! I'll bet you thought I fell off the edge of the earth, didn't you? Rest assured, I am securely on terra firma and ready to entertain any of you who might still be out there. After James Bond left for the 'Stan (as they call it), I lost my blogging mojo.

Why, hello RTT. I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? Me? Okay, thanks for asking. Okay, enough chit chat. Let's get down to business. <--
Sounds dirty.
