EGYPT!!!

Okay the secret is out!! My next big adventure on this side of the world entails a 2 week vacation up in Egypt!!!! Ilya and I leave this Thursday (2 days from now) for 2 weeks of hectic Egyptian adventuring! It's a totally last minute plan and we are not doing much more than grabbing a copy of Lonely Planet and working the details out as we go along. We're hitting up Cairo for a few days, where we will check out Giza and the Great Pyramids, Sphinx, etc. Then we're off to Aswan and Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. We're taking a couple day cruise up the Nile and maybe some snorkelling along the way too. Should be awesome and I hope to have amazing pics to show. We're going during Ramadan, so that will make the trip interesting. Apparently it's going to be impossible to get anything to eat during the day, but every night it's a big party.

Also, this should hopefully cure me once and for all of my fear of flying since I will be facing my arch nemesis, Egyptair. It's the airline that has always terrified me and that I vowed to myself that I would never fly on because it scares me so much. But I'm doing it, so I'll pop some pills and cross my fingers and hope for the best! Wish me luck!!
