Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 4

This is our last day in Cairo, and we had nothing on our agenda except to get ourselves to the Egyptian Museum. So we all slept in till 7, no alarm waking us up! We lounged in the room, and were finally able to FaceTime with my mom. Had a leisurely final breakfast in the… Continue reading Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 4

Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 3

Merry Christmas from Egypt! This was from our second opening. I had a horrible nights sleep, shame on me for having a coffee in the afternoon and adding to it our afternoon tea. Too much caffeine! But the kids didn’t care and woke us up at 5am so excited that Santa had come. I told… Continue reading Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 3

We decided to start early again with our guide to miss the traffic. So after another amazing breakfast in the hotel, full of fresh juices, honey from the comb, and fresh baking pastries we were off at 7:30 to explore more pyramids! We started our day by going to Saqqara and the Step Pyramid, which… Continue reading Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 2

Well after the drive to the hotel was so horrendously busy, Ty arranged for our driver and guides to come get us at 7am so we could hopefully beat the crowd. But that also meant we had to get up early so we could eat breakfast. The alarm went off at 6, and we all… Continue reading Adventure Day: Cairo, Egypt Day 1

Travel Day: Luxor to Cairo, Egypt

This is our balloon just before they tipped the basket upright. The baskets are so large, ours held about 20 people. It wasn’t even the largest! Two hours after leaving the hotel we’re up in the air! Another bucket list item is checked off on this trip! Watching the other balloons take off and float… Continue reading Travel Day: Luxor to Cairo, Egypt

Adventure Day 3: Luxor, Egypt

We woke up early today to meet our guide at 8:30. Breakfast at the hotel is everyone’s favorite. Today was a lot better since we were earlier and beat the crowds. Our guide had a full day planned for us. He took us to the Nile, so we could save the drive over to the… Continue reading Adventure Day 3: Luxor, Egypt

This post has been deleted twice now. So I may just skip the writing and add the pictures. Ugh - when technology works it’s great but when it doesn’t it’s maddening! We thought were going to drive up the back way to the Monastery but apparently our driver was just dropping us off at a… Continue reading Adventure Day: Petra, Jordan

What a thrill it is to finally be in Egypt! We have been talking about this place for a year. I made it part of our homeschool studies, we’ve been reading books, and watching National Geographic videos for months. We all got some much needed solid night’s sleep and awoke around 7am. We woke to… Continue reading Adventure Day: Luxor, Egypt

We were able to sleep and wake up without an alarm which was lovely. L woke up with a bit of a stuffy nose. But it seems to be nothing more than that for now. R is still fighting through the cold junk in the mornings. We had breakfast which was fine, again staff wasn’t… Continue reading Travel Day: Dead Sea, Jordan to Luxor, Egypt
