After years of yearning, I am finally on my way...to Egypt! This has been a long awaited dream and now I am going! Pharaohs, Mummies, and cruising down the Nile. Pyramids, Temples, and exotic bazaars. Spices, perfume, and alabaster. Kaftans, jewelry, and Egyptian cotton. Most importantly, a land I have never seen, people I have never met, and local food I have never tasted...the thrill of discovery...that is what I love about travel.
No matter how far I roam, no matter how many horizons I cross, let me never have "been there" and "done that". Let me never lose the joy of discovery, whether on another continent or in my own backyard.
See you when I get back! :-)

Egypt is one of my dream destinations, as well.
I am sure you'll have a fabulous time!
oooh, egypt!!!! i've been dreaming about going there as well, with my kids -- the perfect history lesson! but i will have to live vicariously through you, i suppose. no egypt in our immediate future:(
have fun and be safe! can't wait to read about your (eating) adventures when you get back!
I am so jealous! That sounds awesome. Of all the eras in our world's history Egypt is by far to me the most fascinating and intriguing. I hope to go there someday too. Keep a good journal and can't wait to see pictures and hear about it when you get back...going cruising down the Nile?
weee! tell me about all those tasty treats.
Hi Stephanie! Thanks...we had actually planned a trip a couple of years back but it didn't push through...so now I'm very excited :)
Hi Stef! Yes, Egypt has long been on my mind. I will! Hope you get to go with your kids one day :)

Joey, have the greatest and most fantastic of trips! Can't wait to see what is bound to be fantastic posts on Egypt when you return!
Wow an Egyptian River Cruise? My dad has been bugging his children to go on a River Cruise for the longest time --- post photos of your ship. =)
I'm deathly curious what the inside of a river cruise ship looks like and how it compares to a huge cruise ship.
What a wonderful attitude toward discovery you have! When you truly feel this way, just walking down your street can be an adventure. But when you have this attitude toward going to Greece? Make sure you don't explode with happiness!
I can't wait to hear about the food.
Thanks for your best wishes everyone! I'm on my way in a few hours! Can't wait :) I'll take lots of pictures!
Have a great trip. Eat loads of stuff. Make us all even more jealous than we already are!
Wow, how exciting. Have a great time. Looking forward to the post onyour return. Bon voyage.
Safe journey, Joey! I've been living Egypt through my precious books. Now I hope to get to live it through your eyes. Looking forward to reading your travel accounts.
Envy! I'm green with it! Have a great trip -- can't wait to read about your adventures...
