coming soon

So yesterday when Joe got home *late, because he had a meeting at school* He brought with him the itinerary for our trip next week! And can I just say really fast how excited I am? I AM SO EXCITED! There is one little snag we'll have to work out, we are leaving from his school at 3:15 am! Why does this pose such a problem? Well, we don't live close to the school, I mean it is easy enough to get there but it requires the metro to be running, which it doesn't do at 3 in the morning. So we could try flagging down a taxi and trying to convince them to go to Tahrir Square in the middle of the night. But I don't think a bunch of taxis are just hanging out at that hour... So we think we'll just stay with someone downtown on Monday night! MONDAY NIGHT! And today is already Wednesday! So I am going to type up all the places we're hitting on the trip (our first tour is Tuesday at 9 am, pretty much right after we get off the plane, after we've been up since 2 am, so expect us to look pretty tired in those pictures)

Luxor:
Karnak Temple
Luxor Temple
(Belly Dance Show <- which actually isn't VERY egyptian at all)
Valley of the Kings
El Deir El Bahari
Colossi of Memon

Edfu:
Temple of Edfu

KomOmbo:
Temple of KomOmbo

Abu Simble
2 temples (here our itinerary decides to be vague)

Aswan
Philae Temple
Nubian Museum
tour around the Elephantine Island


Then we'll come home Friday night/Saturday morning at about 2:30 am.

I am so excited! I need to get more batteries for our camera!
