I think if we even think of doing this to Lexie she would kill us by her death stare.

Mind you, we used to have a cat, Hompie, who didn't mind being dressed up, especially when it meant that she would be put in a (doll's) pram.

Preparing myself for my journey to Egypt at the end of the week.

Your cat thanks you. The rest of us, not so much.

Have fun. Something I've wanted to do since childhood, and have never got round to.

Right now I'm on a boring project conference call, and MR is distracting me .

Maybe you should read Agatha Christy's 'Death on the Nile,' Ken Follet's 'Key to Rebecca,' 'Lawrence of Arabia,' or some such!

I'd love to visit that part of the world just to dive the Red Sea! It's tied with Palau at the World's #1 dive venue.

Thanks for the suggestion.
As a die-hard myst/crime-fan I read all Agatha Christie's books twice, but I will look into Ken Folletts "Key to Rebecca". I read Lawrence of Arabia when I visited the Wadi-Rum in Jordan where he fought.
I downloaded 'A thousand miles up the Nile', by Amelia Edwards, which book was in the MR.bookclub a while back.

edit: almost forgot the famous writer Naguib Mahfouz. I read his 'Adrift on the Nile', and bought the Caïro Trilogy.

"The Key to Rebecca" was a very good read! One of Follet's better works of that genre.

The Key to Rebecca was excellent. So was Lie Down with Lions (I think that is the book)

Elizabeth Peters' series of mysteries about "Amelia Peabody" are set in Egypt too. I've just read the first one, in a foursome packed as one, that I got a bit ago.

I know them and liked the books.
And now, for some reason, I'm thinking of the 2 DVD's we have: ' The mummy' and 'The mummy returns'.
