I'm sure this is going to be another fantastic, very memorable trip -- what a remarkable way to celebrate Christmas. You'll truly be together, like three wise people (one, perhaps a very hungry person!) But as Eirin says, when Casey gets hungry enough, he'll find something to eat!sandrachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957358953411540844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005615.post-37028570184213716462011-12-04T15:55:15.186-08:002011-12-04T15:55:15.186-08:00Your adventure is coming up soon!

My companion and I ate street food often and never got sick. Hard for those germs to survive in hot deep fat - so a sure bet. :) Restaurants in Egypt - Cairo; Luxor; Aswan, etc. all have something to cater to Western tastes on the menu.Connie Bennettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005615.post-64316286009698647262011-12-04T15:53:32.060-08:002011-12-04T15:53:32.060-08:00I don't remember there being a Bible, but I do...I don't remember there being a Bible, but I do remember stickers on the desks saying "this way Mecca" with an arrow.

It is a fabulous place. I think Casey might like the breakfast buffet - it's pretty big and includes some blander offerings amidst the more interesting. The breakfast room is beautiful.<br /><br />I'm so looking forward to your stories and pics. You write so well that I'll feel like I'm right there with you.<br /><br />Don't for get the ever handy 'La Shukran' or 'no thank you' for all of the touts who will be so happy to see you.Melissa Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865944656268755849noreply@blogger.com
