Hi everyone!! First there will be no photos here as the internet is stuffiung up again, sorry

Well, Sarah and I last left you all in amazing Aswan, where relaxation had well and trukly kicked ib due to the sheer luxury of not having a travel plan or timetable, the feeling of freedom after so many months of trying to deal with a truck load...

Although I don't feel like I have quite had my fill of the red sea coast (in all honesty, I don't think anyone is really ready to move on from here when they leave), I am packing my bags and reluctantly wrapping up my time here in Dahab.

I met a few round-the world travelers (Andrew from Long Island, supreme giver of ...

We left Jordan two days ago from Aqaba taking the ferry to Nuweiba in Sinai. These ferry sailings are never on schedule so we were told, but we went to the terminal in good time for the overnight trip, having a booking for a cabin as well. If this sounds like luxury you need to realize that the ferry did not leave until 2 am in the morning after...

We arrived in Dahab in the afternoon after a long bus ride from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh where we jumped into a cab to take us to Dahab.We'll never forget our ******* taxi driver :) We optioned for Dahab Paradise. A new hotel outside the center of Dahab. A brilliant location to chill out away from it all. The perfect thing after the noise and ch...

We arrived at sharm at 6am and got on our third bus to Dahab to arrive about 8am at the hotel. Thankfully it is out of season ( everywhere we have traveled we have traveled out of season) and we have got a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the sea for 100 egytian pounds or 10 english pounds. Dahab is a big diving resort due to the coral ree...

Well I'm not sure my time in Dahab warrants an entry so far as I've done very little, including taking only two photos (I know unlike me huh?), however that was kind of the purpose of this week. Having only a week to take off work I figured there was no use trying to go somewhere with loads to see and do, otherwise I'd come back more exhausted t...

Today we got up to go snorkeling. Which was nice a relaxing and amazing that the water was so blue. I never seen water so blue and clear before. On this day we went to site called the Blue Hole. It is about a 30 minute drive from the hotel, and they take you out to the site and leave you out for several hours. There a few resturants and rest spo...

Jeannie here. The chaos that was the hydrofoil arriving at Egyptian customs and everyone pushing, shoving, stinking, can only be rivaled by a Chinese railway station during spring festival. We just all tried to be patient and hunker down until the fray parted. Egypt is a whole new breed of hot. I haven't really experienced static electricity in ...

We boarded a flight to Sharm El-Sheik, home of the recent terrorist bombing back in July. Danny characterized well what we were all feeling when he made the comment that he felt more nervous boarding a plane full of white people than walking around Egypt. Once we landed, the four of us were whisked away to the beach area of Dahab. Dahab is in a ...

That afternoon we mounted our second ship of the desert for the day. On the beach, we mounted our trusty camels, that would be taking us into the desert for an overnight camp with the bedouin. Shelly, Nikki an I had bought white scarves to wear on our heads, which came in handy to cover the faces, when the sand started blowing. The trek across t...
