Update

Well all is going well; once again time seems to pass fast and slow all at once :) I am working nights right now so that has taken a toll on my sleeping patterns and with everything in the city closed by 9pm, leaves not too much for me to explore with the exception of my long weekends off. 

Mt Etna has snow already! I am so bummed :( Its been cooler the last few weeks, but no need for heat just yet. Every day driving home I am reminded winter will be coming sooner than I think. The rain has subsided for a few weeks now, so there is a perk :)

I got to travel to Egypt over Columbus Day weekend with a few friends. It was a short trip organized through the on base travel agency; leaving Catania on Saturday afternoon for Cairo and returned on Monday. It was a great deal though; all inclusive hotel, food, entrance fee's, etc...Cairo was a very interesting city to visit with amazing food and hospitality at the big hotels and of course the Pyramids and Spynx as well as Egyptian Museum, a papyrus making factory and a perfume oil gallery with blown glass. It was a packed, and exciting get away. Almost forgot; of course a trip to Egypt is not complete without a Camel ride :) hahaha...

Happy Birthday to my brother Ben! And Happy Halloween to everyone as well! 

Where did Sept go?

Wow... I totally spaced and didn't realize I  did not post a darn thing for Sept! This was the most exciting month; I was able to get my 2 weeks leave to meet B in Dublin, go around Ireland. Then we flew to Edinbourgh, Scotland and then on to London. It was a fantastic get away which was just the break I needed. Sad to say I was ready for an escape already, but it was a great trip and helped me get my head back on straight :) I will post pictures when I can. I still do not have my own internet and thus am still on limited connectivity. Soon they are telling me, soon. 

I do have AFN, which is like real TV for me, not real commercials or updated shows (old Greys Anatomy), BUT its fabulous to have mindless TV on sometimes. 

Work continues to go well, I am battling with being able to sleep; but am getting there. It takes time for me and I have never adjusted easily to nights. 

Hope all is well with everyone. Happy wedding weekends to Allysa and Andrew (Friday) and Eric and Tenille (Saturday). Wish I was in Minnesota to celebrate!
