Adventures in Libya

I should be sleeping right now. Tomorrow I am leaving for Libya, entering an unknown and very-hard-to-get-into country. I've decided to continue blogging about my new adventures after having so much fun writing about my bike trip across Canada - although upkeep on that blog was tough. However I promise to do my best to keep the blog-ball rolling on this one.

First thing, details. My sister and I are visiting our dad in Libya for just for 3 weeks. Our plane leaves at 8:20 pm tomorrow and arrives in Tripoli, the capital of Libya the next day, with a stopover in London. Libya is on the South shore of the Mediterranean Sea, this means warm water... and swimming in late October! Score one.

I am not sure what to expect of Libya, it is an Islamic country and most of my information or lack there-of comes from stereotypes roaming around my head. I am certain it will be nothing like what I expect, and wonderful none the less. Except for the sand, I'm certain there will be tons of sand and I can't wait to go to the desert... and throw a frisbee as far as I can in the desert, just so I can say I have.

Until I arrive in the land of sand, farewell.
