Re: Book recommendations

I'm just curious, Sandi. Why would you not go? Safety? (that's the only
thing that would ever hold me back, but at this point in my life I figure
"WTH, ya gotta go some way")

Sandi,

So are you going to Egypt? If you want another recommendation that
isn't in the middle of a war, consider going to China.

I'm not sure if we're going yet, because my mother just made the offer
last weekend and we haven't had a chance to talk about it any more yet.
I'm not terribly interested in world travel in general but there are
certain places and sights I want to see; I've always most wanted to see
the pyramids, Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, etc. Mom, on the other hand,
has been pretty much everywhere except Egypt and China.

My husband said last night that he wouldn't go if he were me, and I guess
it's something to think about; on the other hand, someone might take over
Egypt who considers those artifacts offensive to some religion, and the
pyramids and Sphinx might end up like the Bhuddas of Bamiyan. If that
happened, I'd wish later on that I had gone. We'll see!

I am trying to get back to China before the Olympics. I have heard
that it has changed tremendously since I was there, but still a very
fascinating country to visit.
