What's this Blog All About......?

I started this blog back when I was planning my first trip to Egypt in early 2011. I thought what an interesting way to share my experiences, keep my friends and family informed of my whereabouts and receive feedback from back home.

I've now travelled to Egypt many times and I hope my adventures in this beautiful and wonderful country are of interest and liking to all of you. Please comment and let me know what your thoughts and ideas are on what you see....I'd love to hear from you......!!

My First Post! - January 28, 2011

Why Egypt? some asked when I told them I was planning to go.....others said Egypt!!!! Wow that will be an amazing trip!  and that's exactly why I'm going.

Ever since I was a child I've been fascinated with Egypt's history, culture, people and lately I've discovered its music as well.  It's one of the places on my bucket list, that I wanted to visit and see firsthand. I'll be visiting Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and other cities in Egypt.

So my planned trip is next Wed February 2.  I'm supposed to take a flight from Miami to London with a long layover in London and then off to Cairo.  Now, the recent events in Egypt have a put a huge question mark on whether my trip is on or off.  I'm praying to all the Gods, saints, virgins, Osiris, Isis, Shango, Rabbi Jacob and basically any holy deity to bring peace and tranquility to the region, not so that I can go on my  trip but for the more altruistic reason that it's the right thing for Egypt and its people.

I've been following the news very closely for a few days now and will continue to do so up till the very last minute.........
