Travel Gear
I think Jim and I have spent more time shopping online for travel clothes and gear than we have reading about Egypt! I especially need some lightweight clothing that isn’t revealing or sleeveless. I must have spent hours looking at linen clothes and travel skirts and the like. We ended up ordering stuff from FOUR different places!
Royal Jordanian/American Airlines cancelled our flight and we had to move the trip up a day. This really sucks because we had already booked a hotel and onward flight. Now we will have to spend a day in Cairo that we weren’t expecting.
It just seems like there is so much to plan - where to stay, for how long, how to get from place to place, and I need to research these details for Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor, Dahab and maybe Petra. Sometimes it seems overwhelming and I figure I’ll just wing it and figure it out when I get there. As I get older I can see why some people just want to take tours and turn their brains off.
Jim has been harassing me to sign up for some tours. I would rather sign up for the tours once we get there through our hotels and whatnot. So we’ll see. I’m the planner, so I think I’ll end up winning this battle.
I’ve also been looking into a way I can type my blog entries without having to bring a laptop or go to an internet cafe. My friend lent us a fold-up travel keyboard and now I’m seeing if it works with Jim’s PSP or his other electronic gadgets.
That’s all for now!
