Sarah books her reading week trip... JORDAN HERE I COME!

According to the well known scholar/traveler/housemate/friend extraordinaire, Marla MacKinnon, I've heard that Jordan might just be the coolest place on Earth.  So I booked a trip there for reading week!  Actually, Raph did the booking, and I'm in charge of the itinerary-planning! 

A map!  Sooooo exciting!

The plan is to fly to Amman on the 26th of February to meet Raph's friend (who happens to be the Canadian Ambassador to Jordan.  HOW CRAZY IS THAT?) and stay with the Ambassador's family for a while.  So far I've been concocting fun tourist plans about wandering around Amman, going to see the Dead Sea, visiting Petra, and maybe the port city of Aqaba or the beautiful Wadi Rum.  We might even have time to visit Jerash to the North or even go desert camping!

I just have one requirement: I must ride a  camel while I'm there.  As long as I get to do that, I'll be blissfully happy when I get back to la belle Paris!

The only downside to this fantastic plan is that I am super distracted and can't concentrate on school when I would much rather look up pictures and tourist tips on the Internet!
