Fall into the G.A.P.

So you would think traveling to Egypt I would have plenty of Egyptian trivia.  Don’t worry that is coming…   

This was my first guided tour which I was pretty apprehensive about. We lucked out with a great group which made the trip. I would say that the advantages far outweighed the disadvantages on the tour. 

Sarah and I joined a G.A.P. tour with 10 other Canadians & I now know a plethora of information about Canada. Did you know that there are 3 Territories and 10 Provinces in Canada? Did you know that Canada is a part of the common wealth? Meaning the Queen of England is on all their money & the UK technically has some type of power over it just like it has power over parts of Ireland, all of Scotland, & Australia. (On a positive note it does make the visa process much easier if you are apart of the common wealth.) 

SA- RAH from the good ole ATX. (This is her first time out of the U.S. & she sure did it with a bang by choosing to meet me in Egypt & South Africa )

Don (the dude) & Rita from Toronto (Ontario Province.) Both lawyers. Rita also proved to  be a great dance party friend. 

Erica a social worker from Quebec. Of course speaks French ,& spends a fair amount of her time up north where the Inuit live (formerly known as Eskimos. Indians now are called Native Americans, just like Eskimos are now called Inuit. They were given the Eskimo name by the Indians which means eater or raw meat.)

Gerald & Tannis both farmers from the red river valley, (which is the province in southern Manitoba.)

THE 4 PACK!!! All are from Winnepeg (Manitoba Province.) Most are now widowed, have grandchildren & jet set around the world together. They loved their cards, wine, & any other kind of adventure.    

Mudy in all his glory. He is born & bread Egyptian. And is a very energetic informative tour guide. His name was Charlie & we were his angels the whole tour. (No he never stopped calling us his angels!) 

Laura from London (a small city in Ontario) now lives in Toronto. We got to celebrate her & Gerald's birthday on the trip with some serious dance party action so you know I was in paradise!
