We'll be going later on in the year, possibly as late as October. I haven't figured out too many details yet. It's still very much in the planning stages.

Both of us have been all over the world, including the 3rd world. She is very much into Egyptian history and art. She absolutely loves the Egyptian exhibits in the Louvre and wants to see more. Both of us would like to see the pyramids, but we both know it will probably be a bit of a letdown. Still we can say we did it. I'd like to see the Bazaar in Cairo and a few other things in the city. I'd also like to see Petra so we may go there as well during the same trip.
