December 15th to 19th...
Who went: Mom, Sophia, Ali, Gulnar Masi, Naguib Masa, Kiyan, Alina, Anjum Masi, Sameer, and myself. We also picked up the Masi's mom and dad (Nanima and Nanabapa) on the way to the hotel in Mombasa.
The drive was a long 7 and a half hours until we reached the Southern Palms Beach Resort which was on the south coast (we had to cross on a ferry to the island of Mombasa).
It was heaven, as you can see from the pics. We took up 6 rooms which all have a perfect view of the Ocean. This was a true vacation spot. The pool was gigantic and the sun warmed it up to a perfect temperature to swim during the day. I didn't get much time in the ocean (except when we went snorkeling, which will be described in another post) but I did sit on the beach and dug my legs in the gorgeous white sand.

Hi Nat,
i am so proud of you for taking this adventure - it takes courage and a sense of adenture most people do not have. when i read about your anxiety going from place to place it took me back :). The feeling of landing in a new country, the smells, the food, the people - it is truly entoxicating. Make the best of this time - as in a few years you will be working crazy hours as i am! lol.
Please send my love to Gulnar bai and her family. Tell her i miss her a lot and cant wait to visit again. i remember staying with her - bed being made, food being cooked. You should ask for coco paca (spelling??) - they made it really well.
love you. stay aware. stay safe.
love
aunty nadia
