Winter in Egypt

Thanks for the well-wishes. I've hesitated telling the story on the Tree because I don't want people to avoid Egypt. But stuff does happen. We were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's funny, just the day before the bombing I was walking along the corniche to go snorkeling and thought that Dahab was probably next in line for a terrorist act as Sharm and Taba had already been hit. I remember thinking as I walked how easy it would be to do some serious damage due to the masses of people and the very lax security. I guess I should have followed up with that thought. But who'd have ever known, you know?

One piece of advice for travelers- Register at your embassy! Let them know where you are and your emergency contacts. As we were registered they got in contact with family in the states very quickly.
