First of all, thank you all for your kind wishes for my good health. Commenting on one's well-being, and sharing wishes of good health are all very "Mr Darcy"...I love it.
For this installment of my Egypt adventure I would like to share some insight into my fellow adventurers...Let me start by sharing some of my favourites...(Fiddy and de Vife are a given, so I will not be commenting!). For starters...we have Wendy and Lorenzo from the City of Cows. We met them at YVR and I instantly knew they would be fun. I was not mistaken...they are a spirited couple that are always the life of the party. Wendy loves to shop and is not shy of haggling with the most annoying/aggressive shop-keeper.
Of the older set, my favourites are: Dale and Doreen, and Ed and Karen from southern ON; the two gals are sisters. They are absolutely delightful -- lots of fun, lots of energy. I think they feel sorry for me because I'm a "single" (LOL). Of the younger set (and I do mean younger) we have Amanda and Claudio from Edmonton. They are newly married -- took a big trip to the South Pacific last year for the honeymoon--and are quite sweet. They are traveling with Amanda's parents (which I won't comment on); They're an interesting couple. She's a striking blonde pipefitter (with her steam ticket) and she often works up in Ft McMurray (hence two big trips!!). Claudio is a pipefitter and a plumber. They probably burn money to keep their home warm. LOL. These are just a few of my faves for now....We really have a great group, and I feel fortunate to have met so many wonderful people from all over Canada.
Another challenge;
Overly attentive guy who cleans my room here at the resort. The men here are quite annoying...oh, yes arab country...reminscent of Turkey only worse. I travel around with my bitchy face on to avoid more than the regular hassle. At the resort I was not well on day one, and my housekeeper guy kept checking on me. He was trying to be kind ( I guess) and now he has just become too attentive and too annoying. I've let all my traveling companions know, and Claudio (Amanda's husband) has offered to be my chaperone....it's all just sooooo irritating. This entire country needs an etiquette and a marketing course!!
That's it for now...having 'fun' in Sharm.
Tomorrow we're back in Cairo, and then off to London on Thursday.

What, no comments about the camille ride - or were the aroma's so grotesque or the beast got spooked and ran away with you at break-neck speed and the whole adventure was so bad you had to block it from your memory??
I too am glad you are feeling better and enjoying the sights, new friends and OK, maybe not so much the smells - but all in all a wonderful time. I can hardly wait for the tales when you return. Give my love to Fiddy and de Vife.
Hey I agree! No update on Camille? Oh I get it you are building suspense! Very clever! Or perhaps we need to wait for the video! At any rate, it is always good to hear of your adventures. Hope Claudio is taking his chaperone duties seriously. Take care.
Hey Barb, at least you're feeling better. And having the wherewithal to put off would-be Egyptian swains.
Take care, can't wait to hear the full account in person!
