I'm going to Egypt!!!!!!!!!! Not like I'm excited or anything. I'm spending 12 days there, mostly in Cairo but I'll have a chance to go to Luxor and Aswan, Gardecca, and Alexandria. I am absolutely pumped!!!

hey swissmiss, i've heard it's awesome there. my friend went 2yrs ago for a month and loved it. make sure you have a male escort whenever you go out. and make sure they don't sell you to some guy on the subway for a bunch of camels. my friend was almost sold to some guy on the subway. he kept trying to barter with her escort.
you're going to love it. my friend actually got to climb onto one of the pyramids b/c one of the guards thought she was cute. they really like american girls there i've heard. all in all, just be careful and have fun.

Thanks for the tip Shelley.

I'll be staying with my fiance's family, so I'll always have at least one person with me. I've heard that especially if you are American to wear conservative things (not sleeveless, short, revealing) or else you'll get harrassed. His family absolutely loves me (they were here for a couple weeks left Saturday) so I definitely will have a great time.

You will have a good time in Padre. I can't help you with where to make reservations though, we went down there without them and ended up finding a budget host inn a mile from the island by luck. People were telling us there would not be an open room for hours. Our inn had 70ish decor, but a pool and hot tub and cute boys - so it turned out to be a good spring break! You have to go to Mexico at least one night, or day and night if you want to do some shopping. We lucked out and caught a ride with some of those before-mentioned boys - its a 30 minute ride to the border. But I am sure there will be buses back and forth from the island. Oh, I went horsebackriding early in the a.m. on the beach - none of my friends made it up that early, but it was one of the most awesome things I have done and it was a little grounding in the middle of the drunken week. We went to the beach every a.m. back to the hotel hot tub late afternoon and to the bars every night. I am sure you will have a blast.
