It’s Time!

It’s April 2nd and time for a vacation! After six weeks of work, it’s time to reboot and recharge. As usual, my last day of work before a vacation, the crazies come out and boy did I get a doozy yesterday. Bat shit crazy with terrible dental work that she wanted me to perform miracles with! And of course she had another appointment, so I had to hurry! She ended up cancelling her appointment with her therapist that she is seeing because of this terrible experience. I said no warranties, no guarantees and no one will be in the office for the next ten days. When she left, I told my team that I couldn’t wait to be included in her lawsuit! We were already planning a tiny send off to a team member that is leaving us, so we had a dixie cup of champagne and a toast to the future.

Just had to get that off my chest. Now I really deserve this time off! After work, I had to get a nail fixed, annoying…and then I met several of my dearest friends at the Yacht Club for a quick cocktail and laughter!

So where am I going??? Tunisia!

In the Mediterranean Sea just South of Sardinia

Why, I have been asked over and over! Why not! It’s a country that is safe, so much culture and incredible Roman ruins. Some of the seaside cities look like Santorini.

French and Arabic are the main languages. 98% Sunni Muslim, but moderate, maybe 1500 Jewish people and less Christians. The currency is the Tunisian Dinar. It is a closed currency, which means you can’t bring it in, because you can’t take it out. The are a few ATMs but cash is Queen!

I know only one person who has been to Tunisia and he loved it! It’s popular with Europeans because it is so close to Europe. I fly to Rome and the flight is about an hour from Rome.

I have the first few nights booked and then who knows. I know that Tunisia is very popular for Star Wars tours. Several of the movies were filmed in Tunisia. English Patient, a favorite movies of mine was also filmed here. Not a Star Wars Fan and I have been to the Sahara and other deserts so not a real draw for me. There are several interesting Oasis’s. I could see three in one day with waterfalls and Date palms.TBD
