20 hours to go.

[Orfy]

Then I'm off to the Sahara .to stay here. Sorry.....big pictures.

And Here

And here

 

[Vermicous]

One of the places I have always wanted to go, I am envious.

Good luck and have a good time.

Nice camel.... How are its toes?

Seriously though, that looks pretty damn cool. Just remember, it's tough to get decent beer in most of those countries...

 

[Orfy]

Nope, 4x4 and Camel.

I can get a bottle lager in the city but after that there is nothing but water and coke. I may buy a whiskey on the way out.

 

[c.n.budz]

I may buy a whiskey on the way out.

You definitely should, for medicinal purposes... The desert can be a real bitch from what I've heard

 

[SOB]

Now that's camping!

Good luck, and have a good time! Bring back some pics!

 

[Reverend JC]

How long are you planning on staying there? I have often wondered to myself why anyone would travel anywhere where there is no A/C.

I guess i do it once a year to northern Ontario in the middle of nowhere to fish, but there is a cabin with solar powered fridge and lights and water pump.

Cheers, have a good time!

Or is there A/C there?

 

[todd_k]

don't forget your toilet paper.

Not always hotter than blazes in the desert. Sometimes it's nippy. Probably great weather there this time-o-year. Have fun Orfy.

 

[Jim Karr]

Hotel Ali? Is that Ali pictured?

No shi.t! Last time I went the bridges got wiped out and it furkin snowed!
I got stuck, The guide disappeared and I couldn't get back to the city for my gear. That was only a couple of the things that went wrong. It was a real adventure.
This time I hope it goes a little smoother

9 hours to go and I've not packed and been in the pub all afternoon. I have a load of stuff to do and am still cooking meals for SWMBO for next week. It'll get sorted I'm sure.

 

[user 574]

How long you going for?

 

[TxBrew]

Vacation? ...

 

[Orfy]

7 hours to go.......


I'm think I'm off to bed. Get up a 2AM then pack n' go.

I hope to be back in a week. Open ticket.

 

[the_bird]

Have fun, Orfy! Take lots of pics for us (none in a bikini, though...)

Sounds like it's be a great, interesting time.

 

[Orfy]

1 hour

123

 

[EdWort]

Can you get beer there?

 

[Orfy]

No, so I bought some whiskey.

Over and out.

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

Have a good trip!

 

[Orfy]

I'm back. No hold ups or delays this time.:rockin:

1 beer all week.

 

[david_42]

That will show ya! Stop drinking and they make you a moderator.

 

[RichBrewer]

Looks beautiful Orfy!

 

[Fingers]

One beer? You must be dry as the...

Naw, I ain't gonna do that.

 

[user 574]

Only 1 week away? You'll have to call that a vacation like us Americans; that's no Euro holiday!

 

[God Emporer BillyBrew]

So stuff doesn't even grow around the water?

Where do people who live out there get food, etc? Is it all shipped in, or is there fertile soil around there somewhere?

And did you listen to Massive Attack while you were out there? They make great desert music!

 

[Orfy]

I don't class it as a vacation. I take my wife on those and have a budget.
This was just one of many travels/trips on a minimum budget. One of around 15 trips (I've lost count) over the last few years.

Just so happens tha last couple of "Vacations" have also been to Africa.

 

[Torchiest]

And did you listen to Massive Attack while you were out there? They make great desert music!

That was an extremely random, yet cool remark. Have you listened to Massive Attack in the desert before, to good effect?

And WELCOME BACK ORFY! I bow to your newfound might!

 

[nikkimac1027]

Welcome back, and i must say i am quite jealous... i'd love to travel as much as you are able to, maybe one day...

 

[Orfy]

It sounds like I got back just in time.

Not really, but the best part of Flight of the Phoenix was when they played an entire MA track to an action sequence. Plus, they did the music for Jarhead. The music just seemed to fit the environment.

Are you a fan?
