The Trials and travels of the Cachilupis

Long time ago in a far away Kingdom, there lived the Ketchesons. They had just finished a semester of hard but joyous work. To celebrate they were to travel to an ancient city were some of their ancestors lived.
Long they prepared for their journey, they gather fruits, nuts and chocolate. They rolled their garments in sturdy bags and left their palace in the hands of sweet Jlym (names have been changed)

The night before their departure the sweet little princesses giggle with excitement as they were told to sleep. The king and queen were resting their heads when after the twelfth bell ran a message woke them up.
The fluffy white powdery cold substance that many love had created a catastrophe. There in London, the house of the magical inventions that transport royalty from one place to another was closed. It was enchanted by the powdery substance. No one could get to it or out of it.

Their hearts broken and their heads tired, there wasn't much for them to do. Even then the King let the Queen rest some more while he took his magic rectangle in search for ways to a reach their destination.

The sun came out and the little princesses were bouncing with excitement but once they found about the tragedy in London their smiles vanished and their bouncing became a mere drag.

The rest of the morning was spent trying to find anything that would take them where their hearts desire to be, at last their hopes were lost.....but the King became the hero of the story and was triumphant at finding a way for the family to depart and enjoy their vacation.

Now they wait in the ancient city of Cairo, mingling with the Pyramids and the souks.

Soon they will find their relatives....but not until Christmas day...


.......but they are living happily ever after!

My heart has been heavy, but I've been hopeful and optimistic for the 4 of you. Hope is what made him work so hard to find a solution and it's what will pull you through. You'll have a great time and make many memories. I'm just sorry we aren't in Cairo with you...
