Ray and I are also doing Petra and are flying home via London on April 4th from Cairo.

We were in Egypt (at the same time of year) back in 2005 and loved it. The Valley of the Kings is extremly hot, thank god they had "cooling stations". I had extra water but had to use it on an elderly woman who wore a track suit made of polyester blend who was almost in heat prostration.

This time I'm also bringing one of those little fans and I dont care if it looks "Dorky"...as long as it cools me.

Will soon be counting the days instead of the weeks.
