We will be
traveling to Egypt. 

I chose Egypt for very
specific reasons.

First, Egypt has been in the news a lot lately and it’s political issues are fresh on every ones mind.

Second, we can mooch off of my sister and her family to keep costs down, won’t they be surprised when I knock on their door.

Third, Ashruf and Achmed. These two guys know Egypt inside and out. They will help us avoid cultural blunders and to get closer to the real Egypt. The pyramids are great but they are tourist attractions like the Statue of liberty.
