It was a crazy morning. We had to wake at 2 am to catch a flight at 5:30 to Luxor. I had a little bit of a stomach issue and didn’t sleep at all. Our flight was on time and Bruce took some photos flying over the desert. Once we arrived in Luxor we wereContinue reading “To Luxor here we go!”

The Pyramids of Giza
We woke early today to travel to the pyramids. As we traveled to the site we could see the pyramids in the distance. The three main pyramids of Giza are named after the pharaohs for whom they were built: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. They were the father, son, and grandson. Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid, isContinue reading “The Pyramids of Giza”
The Egyptian Museum
We began our day with a light breakfast at the hotel. It was quite a spread but we didn’t really have time to eat since we were meeting at 8 am. All the Avalon people met our guide in the lobby and headed out in a big bus. We passed Tahrir Square on our wayContinue reading “The Egyptian Museum”
Traveling Egypt Air Business Class
For 140k points transferred from Chase and booked through Air Canada, we were able to get business class seats on Egypt Air. The out-of-pocket expense was an additional $150. Our seats were roomy but with a bit less privacy than some of the other business class seats on different airlines. However, it is the onlyContinue reading “Traveling Egypt Air Business Class”
We are off on another adventure
I’ve been waiting over 20 years for this trip and it’s finally here. Egypt has always been on my bucket list. We started off by flying to New York to spend two nights with my bestie. We’ve been friends for 70 years. Luckily we have loving, patient husbands who will hang around as we reminisceContinue reading “We are off on another adventure”
Girls’ Trip on the Beyond
It’s been a fun but relaxing time on Celebrity Beyond. We dressed for Chic night. Lauren and Kadyn looked lovely. We saw some pretty sunsets. But no sunrises since we slept in. I think the girls needed sleep more than anything else. Lauren and Kadyn played in a game show along with another lady. TheirContinue reading “Girls’ Trip on the Beyond”
St. Martin with My Girls
Today we took a catamaran trip to snorkel and to a beach. It wasn’t until noontime so we had a slow morning. It was fun watching as we approached St. Martin. It was a short walk to the Cats. Fun in the sun! The girls chilling in the front netting. I don’t like to getContinue reading “St. Martin with My Girls”
Lazy Days At Sea
So everyone who knows me knows my daughter is a gym rat. I guess it’s partly my fault. She was dragged to gyms from a very young age. The Celebrity Beyond features a well-equipped gym. Ellipticals, treadmills, and bikes look out at the ocean. Lots of weights and weight equipment. Lemon water for hydration andContinue reading “Lazy Days At Sea”
On The Beyond with My Girls
We’ve made it an annual tradition to take a trip somewhere – just Lauren, Kadyn, and me! This year, we are on the Celebrity Beyond, celebrating Kadyn’s 17th birthday on this earth. Our cabin is an Infinity balcony and it’s lovely and spacious. The balcony is part of the room which makes it much larger.Continue reading “On The Beyond with My Girls”
Our Last Day
Yesterday we walked around the pier area in Puerto Plata. Bruce started feeling a bit under the weather—hopefully just a cold. This area includes pools for cruisers free of charge. Someone said it was a lazy river but I didn’t see that. We didn’t do much yesterday. We ate in the cafe instead of theContinue reading “Our Last Day”
