Hi Karen, my husband & I are also travelling on this tour...I'm getting really excited too! I'm from Northern Ireland, the weather's been so terrible here (as usual) that the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the great weather, guess you wouldn't really have that problem in Orlando though!! By the way, Wayne & I got married in Orlando, Cypress Gardens in Orange Couty- do you know it?!

Hi Kathryn - Sorry to hear how terrible the weather has been for you at home, but you will be able to soak up the sunshine soon! Are you and Wayne in group 1 or group 2? We are in group 1. The hotels look great and we are counting the days now. We will be arriving 2 days early as the time change will be worse for us than for you. I had a brief 2 days in Egypt before, while on a Mediterranean cruise, and it was not enough. I can't wait to see everything I missed the first time.

My husband, David, our 2 sons, Lachlan, aged 15 & Zac, aged 11 & I are on this tour in group 1. We are getting really excited about the tour especially the boys who have never been overseas before. We are from Sydney, Australia. We are arriving a day early so hopefully we will have recovered from our jetlag before the tour begins. It looks like it will be action packed. Jacqui

Hi Jacqui
Nice to "meet" you. Sydney is a lovely city and I really enjoyed the time I spent there. We look forward to meeting you and your family in person.

Hi Liz
I am originally from Goldens Bridge, NY and my sister works in Rye as a teacher. We look forward to meeting you. See you soon!

What a small world. We raoised our children (26 and 25) in Rye and only moved to Harriosn 4 years ago. What school does your sister teach in?

Hi Liz
She is a kindergarten teacher at Midland School, but she would not have been there when your kids were that small. She has been there for probably just under 20 years. My father was a longtime principal in Pelham as well. I bet you didn't know that you would meet anyone who even knew where Harrison is!

The world gets smaller as I get older. Both of my children went to Midland. I am sure your sister's path and mine have crossed. Looking forward to meeting you soon

Hi - my wife and I are on this tour in Group 1.

We have never been to Egypt, although I went to Jordan a few years ago. We are looking forward to meeting you all, and enjoying some decent weather and Egyptian hospitality.

We live in Stockport, near Manchester, UK, not very exotic compared to the US and Australia admittedly!
