I See Your Belly!

On the last night of the Nile River cruise, we were highly entertained by some Egyptian dancers onboard the ship.  


The first performer made us dizzy for fifteen minutes.

And, the second performer made us.....a bit uncomfortable for 15 minutes.

Surviving Day 1 In Egypt

Hey!  How you DUNE? Get it?  How you dune?   I think this Egyptian heat is already making us delirious.  Or maybe it was the three flights (17+ hours) to get here.  Or maybe it was the thirteen hours we spent passing time in airports between Baltimore, Dallas, London and Cairo.   Let's just say we are glad to finally be here.  Our Trafalgar tour officially starts in two days, so we pre-planned a few adventures in the meantime to get things started.  It seems our tour company does not recommend participating in any third-party activity where our safety is a liability.  Sorry, Trafalgar!...but Egypt has lots of camels and I'm definitely planning to put my ass between some humps on this trip!  A few other activities we deemed "must do" while in the desert included dune surfing, ATV's, and a desert safari ride.  We accept full responsibility for dying in the desert this summer. We searched the Viator travel website in search of ...

Trafalgar Tour 2025

The Egyptian pyramids have been on our travel bucket list for quite some time.  Unfortunately, it never quite felt like the right time to hit up this part of the world.  We have always been discouraged from going to this area due to safety concerns.....but, at this point, it's not even safe to live in the United States anymore.  Egypt here we come! Once again....it's Jenesa who wants to travel around the world to international destinations.  I continue to vote hard for "America First" but my vote obviously doesn't count in our household.  There were two international options that we discussed for our upcoming summer vacation - Japan and Egypt.   We researched several tour companies and what they offered for each destination before finally deciding to seeing one of the seven ancient wonders of the world  and cruise on the Nile River.  Egypt here we come!   It was also reassuring to find a good tour company with great reviews for this spec...

Rise + Shine In The Valley

How much does it cost ?     You can't go anywhere with Leonard without hearing those five words!  He's known to be quite the cheapskate back home, but I can usually get him to splurge a little when we travel.  We both want to experience as much as possible on these trips.....and, it's no secret, nothing is cheap (except beer on the cruise ship!). A hot air balloon ride was not even an option heading into this Egypt trip.  One of the couples in our tour group happened to mention this activity when we arrived in Luxor.  The Trafalgar tour company once again discourages activities like these due to safety concerns.....but our tour guide wound up offering to book a sunrise balloon ride over The Valley of Kings for anyone who was interested. This was something Jenesa and I actually debated, because we had spent a lot of money on a balloon ride during a previous trip to the  Australian outback ....and it was a little disappointing.   The Valley of...
