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 contacts at each location, who handled our paperwork and arranged our individual visits to historical sites. We walked the streets of Luxor, including along the outskirts. We came across this woman in red and her ox. They were the only two beings around, other than the two of us. We loved being dropped into this lifestyle that is so different than anything we knew at home in New Jersey.
