When I heard of the Arab Spring, I thought they were referring to the
beautiful spring weather in the region, so I booked Continental miles I
had earned from the Chase Continental MasterCard. I then find out
mid-flight it was referring to the revolution and ouster of the last
president. I was freaking out!...Well, ok..thats not really the story,
but it would be funny if it was..... I wanted to experience a new
destination and put a new stamp in my passport, so what better way to do
it, than to see another North African country, that boasts great
weather and very nice people.....and of course, I have no regrets. Enjoy
the pictorial blog of Tunisia!
