Secret hush-hush trip to AMS with my partner (he doesn't know)

 

Gasp. Are you sure it's safe for a gay group to be on a boat in Egypt?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1493041.stm

 

I hope he doesn't read FT!

 

Quick trip to OZ for Mardi Gras:
02/27/2008 Sydney Mardi Gras (UA)
03/03/2008 Port Douglas Recovery (QF)
03/09/2008 Sydney (QF)
03/13/2008 USA (UA)

 

It should be fine. That particular boat to which you refer was a party barge on the river for one evening organized by locals for locals in 2001. Apparently, tourists are left alone if respectful of customs. The tour company I am going with has been doing this trip to Egypt for many years. In fact I wanted to go with this group about 10 years ago. There are 2 tours a year now. It is a 7 day Nile River cruise along with all the other tour boats, although this one is very special. It is an historic paddlewheeler from the early part of the 20th Century. I am not worried, but thank you for your concern.

 

He doesn't

 

1/18 SFO-YVR
In Vancouver for the weekend for Canadian Figure Skating Nationals
1/20 YVR-SFO

 

Neither does Mr. Megatop. And it's a good thing. I post some of my "surprises" for him in threads like this, and I regularly ask for ideas and recommendations on FT. If he ever figured out that he could spoil all my surprises by reading FT, I'd have to come up with some new tactics-- and surprises.

 

A little Theater .. a little Harrods .. nothing else 'little' planned tho ...
