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. In Luxor, we visited the Luxor Museum. The statues and artifacts were beautifully displayed and the lighting was exquisite. We came upon a section dedicated to the Pharaoh Akhenaten, the heretic king. He only believed in one god and that made him very unpopular at the time. Don has been fascinated with Akhenaten for a number of years and here they were meeting face to face.
