Chalk up the 3rd missed flight of my life. Not too good a record here, and that's not including all the trains and buses I've missed. But sitting on this balcony of the Hilton Hotel overlooking the Nile, I remember still how lucky I am to be here. Not ... Read more >

It
took all day to get from Helsinki to Cairo, thanks to the inconvenient
routing of our One World RTW ticket. We were routed through Barcelona
for an 8 hour layover, and the Barcelona airport is not the one I'd
pick for a long layover. We tried ... Read more >

I won't call it a new year's resolution, as that would mean it had been broken before it had even begun, it being mid-January already somehow (where do the days go?) but I do intend to write this blog more often in 2011. I manage most day to find ... Read more >

This one deserves its own story. The overnight train- definitely not something I would ever care to repeat. We had our very long day exploring the exciting and wonderful sites of Cairo. This was exhausting (especially due to the heat) and ... Read more >

Our group of 20 of us did an overnight tour in Cairo, which for we singles was less than 1/3 the price of the HAL tour (same hotel), in a mini-bus. 3 hours from Alexandria to Giza the first day was a long trip, but there was a pleasant roadside stop. ... Read more >
