On the “road” again

It has taken us roughly two years to truly get back out there due to Covid. Instead we opted for domestic travel – and a couple of long weekends to Mexico (and Belize!). Even our trip to the US Virgin Islands went undocumented. The pandemic had left me feeling “meh” about writing.

It’s finally time to pick the “pen” back up and document our travels. So for those of you that are new, welcome! We are a dynamic duo that wants to document where we’ve been, and where we are going. I’m Dani – the mastermind behind the “scribbles” portion of the blog – and my husband Andy is our photographer behind the “snapshots” piece.

We’ve been looking forward to our Egypt trip for the last year! I found an amazing deal through Travel Zoo’s Top 20 in early 2021. Exoticca – the company that was hosting the deal on their website is actually coordinating the travel. They’ve been great to work with while planning and also helping answer our questions.

I also want to point out that this is my first time stepping foot on the continent of Africa. Andy has been here before with the Air Force. We have a few different running bucket lists – reaching each continent is one of them.

So what will we be doing in Egypt?

Cairo – 3 nights

I know you’re not here to read about where we are resting our heads. So I’ll get to the good stuff.
