My husband and I like to travel, and we like to visit various countries around the world and I have a tendency to like to spend longer at places then some of the trips that you’re allowed to go on. […] In 2011 we were scheduled for another three-week trip, and the first week was going to be in Luxor Egypt. It was what our guide told us would be the adventure of a lifetime. […]

The last day that we were in Luxor our guide took us to his favorite jewelry store, and my husband selected this tiny little flask and I bought some jewelry. We don’t know a lot about it other then its somewhere between 100 and 150 years old, I don’t even know what it was used for […]

The day after we did our shopping we went to Alexandria, and while we were in Alexandria we got into lockdown for 6 days because the revolution started. So we watched it from our second floor balcony until finally we were able to leave the country on the 6th day. So it was an adventure of a lifetime.
