Out 9 hour flight from Denver to London was loooonnnnnng, but fine. We loved London! Our flight from London to Beirut was like 1st class -- full dinner, alcoholic beverages, hot towels, etc.
Beirut is very interesting.... CRAZY driving, more humid than a humidor, a tank less than a block away, a soldier with a gun (who we could not take a picture of), and a lot like Mexico in our opinion. :)
We had an Arabic lesson for 1 1/2 hours today with a special tutor (!), a crash-course in culture with our friends, and another Arabic lesson later today. It's a pretty intense language. :) Mr. Toastmaster and Mrs. Good Earth Tea are doing really well -- it is great to see them. They LOVED all of their presents.
We did have a small maple syrup incident in Limey (Jovi's bag). No worries, we'll get her cleaned up. They must put the bags through a trash compactor.

We're so happy you arrived safely with all your bags in one piece! So when do you take your classes in Middle Eastern belly dancing? Or is that not on the itinerary this trip ;) We're praying for you guys,

Buddy's not smiling that maple syrup got wasted:-( I spilled Chloraseptic on Limey's little sidekick (the make-up bag) so it's all good. Hope you guys are having fun felling us some cedar you promised! Off to see your mansion tomorrow (Wed) and give some love to your kitty. Maybe Buddy will hug a racoon. Praying for you guys at dinner time...Buddy & Jovi
Welcome to Mexico!
What a classy (or "posh" as the UKs would prob'ly say) couple you are with your first class flight. But did you go into the bathroom? Did you order the $14 tuna sandwich?
More prayers coming your way. And alas, poor Limey.
