Count down at 2 days before we drop Pepper off for her vacation at Bayside Pet Resort, pick up a rental car to drive to Miami and begin the trek to Egypt and Jordan. This trip is the leftover of the cancelled trip to the Holy Land. But even without Israel to look forward to, a trip to places from about as far back in time as you can go promises to be amazing. From the Pyramids and Sphinx, cruising down the Nile, the Treasury at Petra and camping at Wadi Rum, stay tuned for a glimpse of the Middle East.

Recommended resources: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for a view of The Treasury and Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile for what can happen aboard a Nile cruise.

This is a bit of practice blogging to see if I can remember how to actually post. We will see…
