But I Really Want the Car! October 15, 2009 · Filed under Daily Life. Life as an expat in Kenya has thrown me some curveballs, some challenges, but also some benefits. One of the more obvious benefits is that, as many of you know, we have staff at home. We pay them ostensibly to make our lives easier, but perhaps their main function is to serve as blog material.

Bushwhacking | Expat Squared
https://expatsquared.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/bushwhacking
December 7, 2009 · Filed under The Bush. I am sorry for the long post. It’s a long story. Also, sorry for not posting in ages — I’ve been waiting for something worth telling. I hope you think this story was worth the wait. Anyway, we were all set to have a relaxed time going on game drives, checking out the scenery and seeing amazing animals in their natural habitat, which really does beat the hell out of seeing them in the zoo. The next morning we set out early to hit the dirt track and meander our way ...

Bushwhacking P.S. | Expat Squared

December 8, 2009 · Filed under The Bush. Lastly, much as I wanted to take pictures of the three heavily armed rescuers, it seemed folly at the time. Not aggravating people who’ve risked life and limb to save your bum seems like a good motto. At some point when I can figure out how to post pictures to this blog, I will. Seeing animals in their habitat is really gratifying, and I definitely plan to share those images. 1 Response so far ». December 8, 2009 @ 9:17 pm. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are comm...

Fantastic Family Weekend | Expat Squared
https://expatsquared.wordpress.com/2009/10/26/fantastic-family-weekend
October 26, 2009 · Filed under California. This post has nothing to do with Kenya, being an expat or really anything else that I usually talk about here. Rather, it’s just to catch up with everyone, let you know why there was radio silence (again) and to say with unabashed glee how rockstar cool my family can be. And tap water that is actually potable before I head back home. I hope everyone had an equally fantastic weekend. Catch you on the flip side. 3 Responses so far ». October 26, 2009 @ 3:56 pm.

Emperor Scooter | Expat Squared
https://expatsquared.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/emperor-scooter
October 14, 2009 · Filed under honeymoon story. 183 Tagged honeymoon story. Ryan and I were having a lovely wander through the byzantine streets of a medieval town in Umbria when we passed a house that had a plaque on it proclaiming it to be the house of the mother of Emperor Vespasian. We thought about going in, but it didn’t look particularly worth the entrance fee, so we moved on. I think Ryan bought it. For all of four seconds. But I kinda like the story, so I might just stick with it. Enter your com...

Lip Reading | Expat Squared
https://expatsquared.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/lip-reading
October 17, 2009 · Filed under London. Okay, so here’s another post that has nothing to do with either my honeymoon or life as an expat in Kenya. It’s really about the fact that I’ve jumped the shark, age-wise. I’ve become my grandmother. I’m grumpy and judgmental about, of all things, clothes, which is a laugh because I can admit that I am singularly unqualified to comment on fashion. Have entered the vernacular. Ultimately, though, I don’t know what horrifies me more — my potential entree i...Just to w...

Welcome Home | Expat Squared
https://expatsquared.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/welcome-home
October 21, 2009 · Filed under California. About a year and a half ago, I flew from London to Chicago for a friend’s wedding. The passport control officer had an enormous chip on his shoulder. He hassled me to the point I started to irrationally fear he wouldn’t admit me into the country. Not that I had a good idea of what he could possibly do to me — I mean, where would he deport me to? I landed in San Francisco from London on Monday. The passport control officer expressed surprise that I live in Ke...
