Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

My husband and I traveled to Egypt for a two week visit. I love all things Ancient Egyptian and have wanted to visit Egypt since childhood. My trip was made more spectacular because I experienced it with my husband, my best friend. We did not use an escorted tour, but traveled rather independently. We met arranged contacts at each location, who handled our paperwork and arranged our individual visits to historical sites. We also had free time to wander on our own. We hired a driver one day to take us around Cairo. I asked for a jewelry store where I could buy a gold cartouche with my name in hieroglyphs. I watched the jeweler make my piece of jewelry and was happy to leave the shop with it Outside the shop, we found our car being eaten by this donkey. Apparently, the side view mirror was very tasty.
