At Seatac Airport

Well, here we are!  Got the dogs walked this am, last minute details taken care of and left for Seatac... almost on time!  We will board the plane in about an hour, then it is 14 1/2 hours to Dubai... yikes!  Got some sleeping pills (Thanks Dr T!!) and hopefully the time will pass quickly.  Patti is meeting us in Dubai, taking us on a little tour of the city, we have tickets to ride the elevator in the world's tallest building at 10pm Saturday.  (123 stories!!)  We will leave Dubai at 3am for a 6 1/2 hour flight to Mauritius.

As you can see, Woofie could not travel without all his "clothes" from all the countries he has visited!  I told him it would be hot where we are going, but he still wanted to wear his "chullo" (Peruvian knitted hat) and carry his Guatemalan satchel.  (His collars are from Ecuador, the Galapagos and Romania)

Blue is posing as a secret service agent, protecting Woofie.  I am just along for the ride!

Hope to post again soon!

The IPad is smarter than me...

I may have to admit defeat... and leave the IPad at home.  I can do the blog easily on the laptop, but I am only getting frustrated on the IPad!  DANG!
OK, I am supposed to be packing and getting other errands done...  Anybody out there done a blog from an IPad?  Let me know!!

Gotta get back to work...

Well, we actually go past Africa on our way to Mauritius, off the southeast coast of Africa, in the Indian Ocean!

From the World Vets website:
World Vets has been approached by PAWS Mauritius to help them promote and provide a humane solution for population control on the island of Mauritius. As such World Vets will send a small a team to carry out a pilot project that will provide free spay/neuter services for the islands animals. This project has also been strategically scheduled to be carried out during International Animal

Week. This is to help raise awareness about animal welfare on the island as well as on the international stage. The World Vets team will also take part in other events that have been planned for the week.

Blue and I will be leaving for the tiny island of Mauritius with World Vets on Fri, Sept 28. (OMG, that is only three days away!!) The first leg of our flight is about 14 hours: direct to Dubai! We are hoping to meet an American lady that lives there and get a little tour of the area. We see lots of info and photos on Dubai on the internet... but seeing it in person will be really neat.


Below is a map of the area.  Mauritius is a tiny island out in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar off the southeast coast of Africa.  We are staying in Cap Malheuereux on the northern tip of the island.



Anyway, we are certainly on the short countdown.  Mainly this entry is to practice posting blogs.  If there is good internet access (supposed to be) and my IPad works (supposed to) and I can figure out how to use the IPad (that is the big unknown) I am planning to post daily.

Until travel time...
