Hey, how long do you think you’ll be spending in Egypt? Not that I’m inviting myself or anything, but I’ve always wanted to go there…

just so you know, Cebu is beautiful in January. AND Sinulog is the whole second week of January (the fiesta itself is the third weekend, you should not miss out). AND you could stay there for free at my house and possibly volunteer at the international AIDS conference that my mom and aunt are likely organizing……

GO TO THE PHILIPPINES

that is all.

Might I suggest that you do your travels in pseudo-reverse? Morocco and Egypt are REALLY EFFING HOT in the summer, so they may be best left for October/November rather than August/September. Especially since, if you’re going to Egypt, you really need to see Abu Simbel, which is just a hop away from the Sudan and is therefore REALLY, REALLY, REALLY EFFING HOT in summertime.

Oh, and here’s why you need to see Abu Simbel: it’s a pair of ancient, giant, mind-blowing temples carved into the side of a mountain on the orders of Rameses II. (You may remember Rameses from such works as “The Book Of Exodus” and its film version, “The Ten Commandments”). That in itself makes it worth the extra plane ride. But what really sells it is the fact that, when the area was to be flooded by the new Aswan Dam in the 1960s, they saved the temples by MOVING THE ENTIRE MOUNTAINSIDE.

Also, my Dad’s brother was the doctor on site during the relocation, which adds extra cool points. (You may remember said uncle from such events as “Amy & Paul’s Wedding,” at which he played the role of “The Priest.”)

You had better have both legs intact for the Muddy Buddy in August! I don’t want to have to pimp out a mud-worthy sled to drag you around in.

wow… I like to say that I like to travel but I must bow before a superior traveling force, measurable in duration, intensity and distance.

I have decided that since your travels will have you missing my 30th, Paul’s and a few others’, we should schedule some sort of big multi-birthday blow-out during the already-insane December party season. What say ye?
