December 24, 2009 Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year…missing friends, family and the get-to-gathers…but NOT the shopping!! Heaps of hugs and love to all, Annie and Tim oxoxoxoxoox Here we are, with rum and coke in hand, at the Cape of Good Hope, raising a toast in honour of Ann’s father, …
November 30, 2009 As we leave Ghana, some final thoughts and our experiences with our volunteer stint in Hohoe. Ann goes to school: Kids at school were promised a computer per child a year ago by the government. No sign of computers and some students aren’t even aware of what they look like, but, never …
November 29, 2009 Great flight from Casablanca to Accra…we got to stretch out in our own rows; ipods, books and puzzles entertaining us until 2am. Excited to see the sign, “CARE NET GHANA”, that our host would be holding up…we hurried to pick up our luggage! But, alas the traveling demon strikes once again… no …
October 14, 2009 Marrakesh – What is it with us and airports??? Talk about confusion in Casablanca…one guy, a little too self-important, running around from station to station; yelling into his walkie talkie, as if there was a terrorist attack!

Our two days in Paris …of course was not enough time to see anything! But we definitely want to go back. It was cold and cloudy, however, that did not deter from its beauty! We did lots of walking to shake off the jet lag (our flight was delayed until the next day), toured the Louvre, went to the Eiffel Tower on on our hop on – hop off bus tour. Ann also stretched across 5 bus seats and slept…much to the disbelief of other tourists getting onboard!

It seemed to take forever but after the house sold and with a closing date of June 19th, it gave us 5 weeks to pack up, clean up and find a place to live until we finished up at our jobs. So Ann, realizing what had to be done…quickly leaped into action… and flew down …
May 6, 2008 For those of you who wonder what is or why are we using the name “Fakowee” let me explain. It’s from an old joke that I think my friend Don Bradley told me years ago. And, yeah, its kind of lame (remember…it was Don’s joke!) but it has stuck with me and …
