Well, things certainly have changed. We teetered on the fence of going to Egypt and Jordan until the civic unrest turned violent. Then we decided that it would be foolish to continue with our original plans and began to look at some alternate destinations. We finally decided to stay in Spain and Portugal and venture inland into Morocco.
Now we are scrambling to decide on a tentative itinerary and make a few hotel reservations, at least. Since we are leaving on Thursday and have only 5 days to make decisions, we are busy reading and looking online for train schedules and short flights to Marrakesh. It'll be the trip with the least planning that we have ever done.

Glad you decided against Egypt at this time. Hope you have fun and see lots in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. I'll be watching your blog.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! I am glad you are going to Spain and Portugal - so you can do my reconnaissance mission ;) Take care and have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this was a difficult decision -- things kept changing by the hour! Glad you weren't one of 18000 waiting at the airport, but have to wonder if outside of Cairo things were better (or worse)? I suspect you made a very good decision -- and who can ever say Spain, Portugal, and Morocco aren't worth the time!
ReplyDeleteLorenzo and I were worried about you! And are glad to read that you are not in the midst of post revolution celebrations and what ever else is to come, in Cairo!
ReplyDeleteThe pyramids have lasted a long time...you'll get to see them later!
Have fun where you end up... will be an adventure!
