just a quick post, too hard to down load any of the posts to read. We have just finished our Nile cruise, seen SO much there is no way to describe it here but it is a WOW experience. We looked at Ken and Rons pictures last night they have some good ones. It is hot here and we are about to board the ship again and only have about 5 minutes to get ready - i just wanted to check in and let you all know I am still alive and kicking. Abu Simbel is a MUST see for anyone that comes here, other point is the planes between places are BIG jets I had no idea that there were so many tourists here. A 40 minute flight and they are air bus planes. Much better than i had expected in many ways. Hope to post from Cairo.
