dirty old men forget it!!!!!! oh!! niiiiiice!!!!!! I'm not dirty, just had my monthly shower last week so I'm smelling pretty spiffy, and anyway I got my old spicy and my lynx to ward off the smelly's but alas and alack, I asked the dragon and she said no! you bloody well cant! so you must avail yourself to someone else whom shall come prancing in on a white winnebego to spirit you away to never never land and she told me that I cant even keep you under the bed as a spare, no sense of adventure that girl!!

Sophie, did you not read my Bio in the singles forum? I'm caucasian, tertiary educated, intelligent, articulate, non smoker, social drinker, GSOH, Practical, good with my hands (& toungue) the list goes on ad nauseum. Trouble is though I need a full time nurse & cook I'm married. What an embuggerance and you're such a young girl too.....And Us elderly males need young women around us to boost our fragile egos....

sophie hi i read your post and can understand that you are nervous about your trip forget it girl, you can do it on your own, too long have we women been schooled to think we are the weaker sex it is very tempting to want someone to introduce you to the untested and untried but this is the trip of your lifetime next year i will retire and store my belongings and take off to i dont know where. if i had your qualifications i can think of thousands of places in the world i could go and be welcomed with open arms as i dont i am much more limited in what i can do but i still intend to make the most of the opportunity good luck !
