My Happy Place

Well, it looks like it is going to work out for me to visit my favorite place in the whole wide world one last time before I leave Egypt.
I am going with a friend and her friends to Dahab at the end of this week! I love, love, love, love Dahab. A big smile is all over my face.

I'd love to go with you as well! Be careful though, am sure you heard of the terrorist bombing there a couple of months ago. A couple (and her folks) were visiting when it happened and were seriously injured. They were Americans, living in Maadi like you, and fellow bloggers. You can read about what happened to them on their blog here.

Still, I'd go, but I'd steer clear of touristy areas, especially when they are crowded. This terrorist was targeting tourist to hurt Egypt's tourist industry. He wasn't after Americans specifically.

Anyhow odds of you being there during an attack are still pretty low, so go and have a great time; you like I will miss it when you return to the good 'ole USA!

Cheers

Sara,
I am definitely diving!

Tater,
I was also there during the bombings a few months ago. It was pretty intense to say the least. I blogged about it all too. But despite all of those events, I really love, love, love Dahab. I couldn't bare to leave Egypt and not go one last time.

Jenn,
I can't wait to see you and Seth and your new place. I have such mixed emotions about leaving. I can't wait to reconnect with you guys and my family, etc. But living here has been an amazing experience for me. I am sad to go.
