On The Road With The YaYa's

Travel

  • Passion for Petra

    I get it now. Yes, I had seen pictures of the Treasury and thought that’s pretty cool but I had no idea what lead up to the Treasury was just as spectacular. For those of you who don’t know what… Continue reading

  • On To Jordan

    The wake up call was at 2:45 AM. Yes, you read that right. Breakfast at 3:30 AM was really to much for me to handle. I can’t wait to get back to my intermittent fasting. Airport security was 3 different… Continue reading

  • The Egyptian Museum

    We toured the Egyptian Museum 2 days ago and I have putting off writing this post because I didn’t know what to say. There is no way for me to describe what I saw or to convey the feeling you… Continue reading

    My alarm went off at 3:45 AM for a 5:00 AM departure for Abu Simbel. We arrived there about 9:00 AM after stopping at the most disgusting rest stop I have ever seen. And then they have the audacity to… Continue reading

  • Luxor and More

    Today our wake-up call was at 4:00 AM for a 5:00 AM departure for the Cairo airport for our flight to Luxor. I was mentally prepared for Egyptian security so I didn’t let it bother me when I was felt… Continue reading

  • Never A Dull Moment-Valley of the Kings

    Anyone who knows me well is aware that you never know what is going to happen next. We were in an Alabaster Shop on Sunday afternoon after all our touring. I found a piece I really loved, a covered dish… Continue reading

  • Cruising the Nile

    This morning we woke up in Edfu, that is called the Buggy Capital of Egypt. Of course, the transportation for the first temple of the day had to be by buggy. There were hundreds of these buggies pulled by very… Continue reading
