Cruizin'

My posts have been infrequent in the past couple months... you have Facebook to blame for this. Picutres are easy to post there, just click and they upload/shrink automatically. But whatev.

So, since 11-Aug I've done a bit... the Peck's are in Egypt visiting... I joined them in Cairo and for a cruise down the Nile from the 23rd to 28th. That was great, my first visit to the pyramids in the 7 months I've been here, not bad! I wasn't in a hurry tho since they're not going anywhere. But it was a great time, good to see close friends overseas. They're due to my resort here tonight, spending a couple nights before they head off to Zambia. Should be a couple days of beach fun, golf (of course), and good times.

The cruise was great as well, pretty much the best place I've been in Egypt so far is the Nile. Sitting by the pool on the roof-top watching the Nile drift by was soothing and enlightening, especially after the hustle and caos of Cairo.

Last night we had a celebration for our project reaching 50% complete for construction. A good milestone, and a glimmer of hope that one day we'll be finished and get to move on! There is already talk of the next project here in Egypt, but I think my first choice will be to go back to Brisbane for the PNG project which is gaining momentum as an LNG job... my fingers are crossed.

Hope all is well in your part of the world!
