Around the World with Marsha & Joel

The Chyrons are scrolling across this blog screen that is forcing us to send our apologies for the lateness in posting.

The good news is that we’re here and have already spent a spectacular day with the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the older, 5,000+ year-old burial mounds (pyramids) of Saqqara.

The main problem is serious iPad problems in loading our photos (some really cool ones) shot with our iPhones. I guess depending on the cloud is like depending on it not raining! Anyway, we’re working on it and will start updating you as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we have a 3am wake-up tonight to catch a 7am flight to the south and Aswan, where we’ll board our riverboat for the 4-day trip up the Nile.

Hopefully, we’ll catch you tomorrow. We’re really sorry you’re missing this!

Joel & Marsha

In just a few weeks we hope you can join us on a journey to and through Egypt. We’ll be arriving in Cairo on February 27th where we’ll spend a couple of days with the Pyramids of Giza (Pharoah Cheops), and those of Khefren and Mycerinus. And, of course, the great Sphinx. Then we fly south to Aswan and begin a cruise up the Nile, stopping at Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor, and seeing whatever comes in between — until we fly back to Cairo and home.

We know some of you have been there and done that, so would really like to have any recommendations and/or experiences that could prove helpful.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you, and to be with you on our latest adventure. Stay warm for now.

Across the Neva River from the Herrmitage

We know some of you (some of you) haven’t gotten your complete fill of photos from the trip. We also know that this is a much easier way to focus in on your interests than coming over to our house and fighting drooping eyelids while we click through a thousand images. So, the link below will take you to all our uploaded images, organized by place and date. Although pretty much unedited, you can view the thumbnails and just click on what you want to see up close. Or, you can just ignore this post and go on happily with your lives. See you soon!
