We are in Egypt NOW.......OCT 9-21, 2014. It is AMAZING! Viking River cruises are treating us like Kings and Queens! We are being given the ROYAL treatment!!!! Sofitel El Gezirah is also treating us to the finest! We have roses in our rooms and just got a beautiful dessert delivered to our room!!! Saw the AMAZING pyramids and Sphinx today...... No words can describe the feeling. Our Egyptologist is Amr , is the smartest person ever!! Oh my! Don't wait to book to come to Egypt.....DO IT NOW!!! TERRIFIC!! Bee and Jer

Hawkeye: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a great BIRTHDAY!!!!! Bee and Jer

Dear dabear: Glad to hear you stayed healthy, sure hope we do!!! Yes, we will have to watch what we eat and drink. Which is too bad because we both love trying new and different foods. Guess we will just be smart about our food decisions. Thanks! GO BEARS!!! Bee and Jer (just two hours west in Sterling, Il)

Hawkeye: Thanks for the coffee with lemon tip for stomach troubles. From what I read it is probably going to happen. Sad but, true. Oh well, a small price to pay!!!! Thanks!!!

Hawkeye: Going with Viking River Cruises to Egypt. Fly to Cairo, stay there for four days, then fly to Luxor, board the MS Mayfair (boat) for four days. Then board the MS Omar (boat) for three days then fly back to Cairo and home, (Illinois). Should be exciting. We like Viking River cruises. We have traveled with them to Europe and China and they do a pretty good job. :-) Bee and Jer

Sekhmet: Yes, we have several books and have done some historical research on Egypt, great tip!!!! And, we will definitely look for your "name-sake" while traveling. We are going to Karnak so I'm sure there will be many sightings. Thanks again! Bee and Jer

Hawkeye1947: Thanks for the tips!!! Glad you mentioned about the shopping and buying, because I do plan on mingling with the locals. That's the best part. You are so fortunate to have visited so many times. I will report back on our trip. :-) thanks!!! Bee and JER

We are leaving for Egypt in five days! So so very excited! Any last minute tips? Bee and Jer
