I often think about escaping to another place - these thoughts seep into my holiday plans (Boss, if you're reading this, I DO plan to take a real holiday within the next two years!).
My ideal spot will probably be somewhere in the Middle East - Cairo and Amman seem like good spots for crony reasons, and makes for ideal basecamps because its facilities.
The ideal spot will need to have lots and lots of sand - the kind that dwarfs you in its magnimity, the kind that seems to go on forever only to meet clear blue skies, the kind that makes you weep in humility and awe at God's creations.
My ideal spot must be silent - save for the whispering wind, the muted tramplings of camels and the occassional incoherent wailings of Arab men. Oh... sightings of Moez look-alikes would be good too...
Thanks Najah....for bringing in topics like this one. Something that should be done more often, I think....:)
Have a good weekend!
From heat to cold. Sand to soil. Alaska is another great place to have a vacation. Clear cold blue lakes, the nippy fresh air, the green atmosphere. Like you said...just sit back and be at awe in the very power of nature.

But then again, everyone has their own particular turn on ;)
