Thinking Egypt Anyone?..

As I sit at my desk counting down the days until my final day at BT, April 13, I am obviously surfing the net for travel ideas that fall in my timescope. Whilst I originally wanted to do Egypt in Phase 1, this has been replaced with my Eastern European Horsehoe trip. So my thoughts have wandered to what I'll be doing when I get back to Vancouver After Vegas. That will be August 27 from which I was planning on chilling out at home for a few months. I'll still be doing this but thought, 'hey,why not book a return flight from London Heathrow August 22 and back to London in October', cheaper this way to fly back, as well as earn points, and to visit Egypt!

Contiki doesnt do an Egyptian tour, but I found a just as good alternative! Top Deck Tours,
http://www.topdecktours.co.uk/content.asp?Document_ID=1905 does a 21 day Ultimate Egypt tour which is very reasonably priced. So I think that will be my plan after Vancouver!

Since Egypt is a muslim country, they won't serve alcohol during the month of Ramadan, which this year is September 12-October 11, so I'm thinking best to go on either the October 7-27 trip or the October 21-November 10th trip. Leaning moreso towards the 21st departure.

I can then jet off from Cairo to hit SE Asia and India, woo hoo!

Joiners anyone?...Egypt Calling?......
