On the next leg of the trip, we explored Upper Egypt- namely the environs of Aswan and Luxor. I had originally intended for this to be two separate posts, but I feel like I may not get it all done if I don’t do it all now, so here goes!...
How we got to Cairo We flew into Cairo from Istanbul. I gave more details about our travel route in my previous post. Right after we deplaned, and before we got to the immigration area, a representative from or tour company greeted us. He escorted us to the section where...
I’ll use this first post to give an overview of our nine (9) night trip to Egypt (including a one night stop over in Istanbul, Turkey) and some general tips. I will then follow up with a series of posts breaking down what we did in each region that we...
The Turkish Airlines Stopover Program I’ll start off the content of our trip to Egypt with a short post regarding taking advantage of the Turkish Airlines Stopover Program.

In this first post I give an overview of our 10 night trip to Italy and some general tips. I will then follow up with a series of posts breaking down what we did in each region that we visited.
