Part of my trip through Egypt included a three day Nile Cruise. A friend of mine from college, Katie Armstrong, found me on Facebook and mentioned that she always wanted to go Egypt so I told her to organize a trip and I would join her. Another of my friends, Beth King, was going to be in Egypt during the same time so it would be a gang of three. Katie planned a pretty comprehensive ten day plan to see Egypt with the Nile Cruise being the highlight. In the end, Katie had to back out of the trip at the last minute because of work obligations. I wouldn't have signed up for the cruise if I was on my own. As the trip ends, I have had to become more budget conscious but since others were involved, I just put it on the credit card. So far that is the only thing that I have had to put on credit but it was worth it.

It was a good way to see the sights and treat myself as we come to the end of the journey. The ship had about 100 passengers and we were by far the youngest of the group. The trip made a number of stops including at Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Karnak. The history and allure of ancient Egypt is fascinating but after the tour was over, I had Pyramid and Temple fatigue. Too much of a good thing!
