  • Pyramids and Pyramids, Oh my!

    After arriving in Cairo we checked into our hotel, the Cairo Marriott. Our guide told us the building used to be a palace in the 1970’s which made sense once you saw the architecture. Everything was over the top, gilded… Continue reading

  • Egypt Air

    The best thing about flying Business Class is the lounges. When the YaYa’s flew Emirates, they had a three story building in Dubai for Business Class customers. We are talking free massages, manicures, pedicures, hair salon, showers, gourmet meals and… Continue reading

    After a year of planning, it is finally happening. Since we are flying out of JFK and the uncertainty of weather in February in New York, we left a day early. Packing for this trip was a nightmare. Temperatures in… Continue reading

    We arrived in Reykjavik at 4:30 in the morning, an hour ahead of schedule. They opened the doors at both the front and the back of the plane. The only problem was there was no jet way. We had to… Continue reading

  • Iceland via Philadelphia

    The smartest thing I ever did was to leave Orlando a day early because I never would have gotten out of the airport on Wednesday if I had waited. The airport was a zoo because Disney just closed down but… Continue reading
