Still in Alexandria...and we are finally off to Turkey

Well, well, well, it may take another day before we get to Istanbul... I did hear from my cousin in Istanbul that the weather has been terrible there with even the potential of snow today...and so it fits that the weather between Egypt and Turkey would be tumultuous at best...so the port in Alexandria was just officially closed and we will not be able to leave until tomorrow sometime...stay tuned!

lots of love from Egypt~

1330 update on November 5th...we are still here and the decision to sail is in 2 hours increments...next update at 1400...seas are at 9-12 feet and on beaufort scale 6-8 knots gale winds...yeah, much rather be right here in the safe harbor...you can see the "sea" from here and it looks mighty scary out there! Stay tuned!

1800 update on November 5th...we are finally off and running to Istanbul...although I must say, the seas are going to have us rockin and rollin all the way there...oh my goodness, we just hit the bottom of a wave and if felt like the bottom was going to fall out...so here we go...more tomorrow on the rockin update...they have us in-house tonight with all decks off-limits for safety...I will see if I can get some shots of the waves on here tomorrow!

good night for now...love, ro
