Chech, loving your tour tale. As I'll never get to Egypt it's the next best thing. Finding it so interesting so a big thank you.

I can't wait to read your tour tale. I'm going to save it for when I'm at the clinic next Tuesday.

Hi Chech, Just letting you know that your comment I likened it to stealing the nose of a child where you touch the nose, say ‘got your nose’ and show a fist to the child with the thumb stuck between the index and middle finger. Oddly enough, the Americans on the tour had never heard of this. Must be a Canadian thing, isn't just a Canadian thing. It's something I grew up with and I'm originally from Adelaide in South Australia. Perhaps it's a "Commonwealth" thing. Loving the tour tale and the photos.

LOLOL....yeah, I was wondering about the feedback on that point. I was stunned that none of the Americans had ever heard of it.

When I was a kid living in Sweden and not knowing any English, my aunt from England used to do that nose thing.

Chech, I started reading your tour tale yesterday but I only got to day two. I was running around at the hospitable all morning, and, once I was hooked up, the Benadryl kicked in and I couldn’t read anymore. So far, it sounds like a good trip, and the pictures are amazing. I hope to read more while at the hospital next Tuesday!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride! This is probably the closest I will get to Egypt.
Next stop? 😀

Chech: Thanks for the tour. I will never get to see Egypt myself so your tour tale was the next best thing. Looking forward to your next tour tale. Your farewell dinner at McDonald's was probably much better than some I had in my 15Trafalgar tours. I'm a picky eater so European foods really weren't my choice. Purvis

Yeah, we had a lot of fun eating at Mcdonalds. Next up is Storm Chasing in June. Two months to go. And then Storm Chasing/Eclipse viewing in August. Both were relatively inexpensive which is nice. In October, I just booked a 3 day stopover tour of Dubai on the way to my Nepal/Tibet tour.

Thank you for the tour Chech. As much as I would like to visit Egypt, somehow I don't think I'll get there BUT I certainly haven't given up hope. There are just a few other places that are higher up on my list. South America being one go them, as is Greece, Crete & Malta. I loved your tour tale and the photo's are wonderful. Again, thank you.

Really enjoyed this tale. Someday if things calm down in that part of the world, I might get there.
