Off to Egypt

Ten hours from now Sam (my son..and yes he is the taller one...I am the younger looking one) and I board a plane for New York and then on to Cairo, Egypt. As some of you may know, Sam has been studying ancient Egypt culture and history for the past 8 years. He has become a true Egyptologist. I am thrilled to be traveling with my own interpreter of Egyptian history. Suffice it to say, this is a trip of a lifetime for my oldest son. Celebrating his 15th birthday in Cairo will just make it that much more memorable.

We welcome the 5th grade class at NCCS in Oregon City, OR who will be following us with keen interest. They are studying Egypt and this blog will provide them with real time pictures and stories as we travel around Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria. Perhaps one of these 5th graders will someday have the opportunity to explore one of the oldest cities in the world!

We will be traveling for over 20 hours. Hopefully we will be able to post again on the 26th or 27th with some really cool photos and stories from Luxor and the Valley of the Kings! Thanks for coming along with us on our next adventure!
