Egypt

Dahab, Relaxing on our deck, sun is in our eyes so I can't show you what it looks like, tomorrow though I'll post a picture... We have a great room overlooking the Dahab Bay on the Sinai peninsula. It's winter here (+28 C), we just got word from home that Jacek's father, who is looking over our house and taking care of the dogs, has been snowed in at our house (it's -20C there). Too bad we can't stay here 'till the winter is over. Wind is just starting up this afternoon so Jacek will be windsurfing tomorrow; the last 2 days have been completely windless, which has been great for me and the twins. And most importantly, Jacek has made a declaration, which I will second in a minute (hah) ... once we stop working (meaning retire) we are moving ... guess where... San Diego or vicinity is the number once choice! We have just had it with the winters! We want comfy cozy and warm (and Ags, unfortunately not humid, so Tx is out). Egypt is out because 1. there is almost nothing green there and 2. when I asked for mayonaise they gave me ketchup (?!?). And it seems that the prices in Cali are similar to Warsaw (whether it's houses or food, and btw isn't that nuts considering the earnings are just a fraction of those in cali?!?). Cool, huh! Now we just gotta retire and pay off our house and business here. Any ideas on how to get that done in 2 and not 20 years? :) Anyways, Egypt will have to do in the meantime. Here are some pics:
