Travel plans CHANGED

[WhidbeyGirl 1]

I am always looking for ways to save money and it occurred to me that traveling in May is one of the most expensive times to travel to Dakar so I have changed my plans and am leaving in ... 13 DAYS. It saves me over $300. It came as quite a shock to SO but he is very happy!

I am so excited!!!! I had to go get a tanning package today, I can squeeze in 8 sessions before I leave. Also bumped my haircut/color/highlight appointment up to the night before I leave. SO called me late last night and said, "I don't know if coming so soon will work, I don't have much money." Told him "Too late, ticket has already been purchased - we'll be fine I ALWAYS over budget for things so everything will work out." We may have to stay in a less expensive place but that is totally fine with me.

Have a great trip and enjoy yourself while there. Perhaps you could stay with his family some of those nights and really save money. I'm sure they'll appreciate any food or stuff you buy for them while there. It'll beat the price of a hotel any day.

Unfortunately his family lives in Lagos. He has a few friends in Dakar we might stay a night or two with them, but we would really rather be alone .

I only go 20 minutes each time and I still got a little base left from my visit in November.

Are you in Dakar?

[WhidbeyGirl 1]

Are you in Dakar?

Not yet. Will arrive at 4:45am on Friday the 13th, my favorite day

We are going to be staying in Thies for financial reasons. One day - not sure which one - we will be traveling back to Dakar to visit Goree Island.

It would be nice if you could meet his family, it sort of solidifies the relationship in their eyes. Also, those types of questions are the kinds that interviewers may ask when he goes for the interview.

If you can get to Gambia, stop by and see me.

I'm STILL in Gambia with my husband.

Interview isn't until 25th of March. (they can't reschedule).
