So yes, they did cancel the Egypt portion of the trip, and they've replaced it with an extra day in Jerusalem and a day in Athens, Greece.

Because of this, I've lowered the price a few hundred dollars and changed a few other things around. While we won't get to see the pyramids this time, we will get to see the Parthenon and associated structures AND, most important of all, we get to see how the Athenians pronounce "gyro."

I'm going to take one of those marble friezes from the Parthenon.

I'm not really interested in those locations, plus it conflicts with ASLOK. :duck: I wouldn't mind going back to the Galapagos again though.

How about an Antarctica cruise? That would be the bomb.

Antarctica would be interesting, but very pricey, and they don't let the larger ships disembark there. It's on my big list though.

Who do you think you are, Lord Elgin?

That is only allowed if you last name starts with an E.

Well, he stole the originals. I'll just be taking the replacements. :)

Maybe go done there and follow the Sea Shepard crew around throw stuff on their boat.

Sadly, I won't be able to go, anymore. :(

Family-related obligations have managed to crop up.

I'll see if I can see you folks on the next cruise, perhaps.

Hmmmm... do I still want to go if I have to settle for Greece instead of Egypt?






HELL YES I DO!!

:cry1 You folks go on and have a great time without me! (Except for Scrut: I hope your time is miserable.)

I'll be a good sport about it. You can feel free to brag about how excellent this trip was, to my face, if you want to. I won't be jealous. I'll just be sure to head into Greece at some other point in time.

And, I'll go to Egypt, too, once they're done rearranging the place.

Concur! You never can go to enough warm places with strange critters. And the animals there would be fun to see too.
