3 more sleeps

Well it is Monday night and we are down to 3 sleeps before we fly out ... not that anyone is counting.

Wouldnt you know it this low grade head ache I have had for the past 2 weeks has turned out to be a sinus infection. Just what you want when you are going up in the air ~ NOT !

We have packed, unpacked and packed again trying to make sure that we have everything. If your asking yourself if I plan on doing it again ~ dont be silly of course I do. I think Steve has more in his pack than I do tho ~ and I am the germaphobe with all the disinfectant stuff !! Better safe than sorry I always say.

Was telling an Egyptian friend of mine that I was really looking forward to the Nile cruise and just relaxing and making ripples in the water with my fingers ~ I thought his eyes would pop out of his head in fear !! His response was something along the lines of " O MY GOD Colleen NOOOOO ~ the Nile crocodile is one of the feirsest on the planet AND the hippos !!" .... I was like " Um the what now?" So needless to say I will not be putting my hands anywhere near the water. I do have one question tho ~ we are expected to cross over to another boat to use the toilet whilst we are on this cruise ... is there a bridge between them ?



I have done my homework for this trip and wikipedia has had a work out from me. I have done up a book for us explaining where we are at and the importance and history. There is so much history there ~ on another note we will be returning to Africa and visting the Cradle of Mankind and doing a safari at a later date.

Im not an overly religious person but the climb we are doing on Mount Sinai is something that I am really looking forward to - sunrise on top of the mountain where Moses was given the 10 commandments is something that I cant pass up. People say the bible is just stories ~ well I want to see where one of the best stories of mankind is set. I will also be seeing where he parted the Red Sea !! Again not over religious but I am excited to be able to say that I have seen where this has happened. Will be doing some snorkeling as well when we get there. After the Barrier Reef I am hooked on diving/snorkeling.

Well ~ I have babbled on and it is time for me to scoot. Will post again while we are on route to Egypt and keep you updated when we are actually somewhere they have access to the web
