I'm packing my bags, reserving my hotels, and checking out rental cars - counting down the days until I catch my United Airlines flight to London with a connecting flight on Cyprus Airways to Larnaca, Cyprus. At this point, I'm getting a little excited, but also somewhat nervous about the little things: driving on the lefthand side for the first time (I think I'll splurge for an automatic so I don't have to learn to shift with my left hand while watching out for those other vehicles coming at me on the WRONG side of the road); will the island be over-run with rowdy tourists and tacky hotels?; can I drive across the border in North Cyprus easily and efforlessly and will they let me stay for a few days?; should I rent a cellphone or does mine have international roaming?; I hope I can work the computers in the internet cafes so I can add to this blog... I guess those are kinda big things. No doubt it will all work out.
Stay tuned as the time draws near. My first post will be from Larnaca Cyprus at an internet cafe, so we'll see how well it all works!

I'm off on a journey to the Mediterranean after being away for 32 years. Join me as I return to the island of Cyprus, my birthplace and that of another goddess, Aphrodite :-) Hop on Cyprus Airways with me to attend my high school reunion in Beirut, Lebanon. We'll have a couple of more days to explore Cyprus before we come back. We leave on May 22nd and return on June 6th. Ready to go? PS: Remember to read the postings from the bottom up to get the continuity.

About Me
- Dr. Lisa
- I was born on the island of Cyprus in 1954. My father worked for an American copper mining company called Cyprus Mines Corporation. My twin brothers were born 15 months after me and my sister came along eight years later. We took a short break in our Cyprus life by moving back to Southern California for three years when I was 5. Happily, we journied back to Cyprus for the rest of our "growing-up" years. I had the opportunity to attend junior high and high school at an American prep school in Beirut, Lebanon. I now live in Fair Oaks, CA, a suburb of Sacramento. My children, a boy and a girl, are in various stages of completing their higher education, after which, they will go out into the world. They both love to travel as much as I do.
