Egypt

We had a great time in Egypt. The resort was beautiful. There was about ten pools and a lot of lounge chairs with shade umbrellas. Also, all you can eat food and drink. I had lot of diet coke. It was nice because I didn't have to cook or clean for the week. The kids had a blast swimming, going down the water slides and hanging out on the beach. We were on the Red Sea and the sea water was very warm. We had planned on going to see the pyramids but I was a six hour bus ride there and back. We decided that it wouldn't be a good idea with the kids. We were pretty bummed because we had done some research on facts about Egypt. Outside the resort was pretty scary. I guess I forgot that is was a third world country. The was a lot of poverty. It reminded me of Tijuana. The Egyptians would try to get you to go into their shops and buy stuff. The prices they asked were ridiculous. You could haggle them down on the prices. But is was a pain in the butt.
We mostly stayed inside the resort so we didn't have to see any of that. When we took the shuttle to and from the airport the kids would stare out the window. I think it was really good for them to see how other people lived. We all got a little of "Pharaoh's Revenge." I think we got it from the food. Despite all of the negative things we still had a wonderful time and it was a much need vacation.






What a hottie! It was pretty funny. Mike had two people come up to him and said, "You have been here for seven days way are you still white." The poor guy doesn't tan at all. He had to put lots and lots of sunscreen on every few hours.

The hotel had great water slides. We all had a fun time going down them. Izzy wasn't tall enough but she had fun just hanging out watching.









Every night they had disco dancing for the kids. The girls had such a great time.




Alayna was so good. She would get so tired and fall asleep anywhere. I would lay here down in some shade and she would happily sleep.



We took a boat to a beautiful island and went snorkeling. It was amazing. At first I got freaked out being so close to the fish. But after a while I was able to relax and see the the cool coral and fish. The water was very salty.






The boat but took us out to a really cool coral reef. The water was an amazing color of blue. Mike tried taking the kids out but the didn't like it. So they had a blast jumping off the back of the boat.

We ran into a gross squid on the beach.





Starfish were everywhere.
