Our Itinerary

So, what lies ahead?

Heidi and Lee fly out of Cleveland to JFK in New York City shortly after 1:00 p.m. on Monday, September 21, 2009. We'll stay overnight near the airport and hope to be able to get into the city the next morning for brunch and to walk along the new High Line elevated park along the west side of Manhattan.

We leave for Cairo on EgyptAir at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, arriving around noon the following day. Thursday morning, following a visit to the Egyptian Museum, we fly on to Luxor for three nights.

Then comes a three night Nile cruise during which we'll stop off at several sites along the river before landing in Aswan. During our three days here we hope to be able to get to Abu Simbel further south, but that may be impossible (reservations for that day trip had to have been made forty-five days in advance, long before we signed on to the tour).

Our last three nights we'll be back in Cairo. On our return to the USA we'll stop overnight again in NYC, arriving back in Cleveland on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 in the early evening.

Here's a brief OAT video describing what we will be seeing along the way and a more detailed itinerary for those interested in findng out more ...

There you have it. Keep abreast of what we are up to during our tour by checking back here periodically for comments and photographs of our experiences. [And, by the way, Lee's replacement HP Mini 110 arrived this morning and works just fine.]
