David and I started planning this sabbatical almost a year ago. We are pretty quick decision makers when it comes to travel, mostly because we like the adventure of not planning every detail. We had a gap of 4 days from when our Morocco tour ended and our Egypt tour begins. We booked ourselves an extra night in Marrakesh. When we booked our flight out of Morocco over 6 months ago we didn’t really pay that much attention to our flight times. The value most certainly was due to the fact that we were to land in Cairo at 2am. Oops. Never fear, if you book yourself into a really nice hotel they will send the suited man to retrieve you in the middle of the night, escort you through passport control, relocate your luggage for you, bypass customs, and escort you to your private vehicle. Yep. Totally worth it. I was so pleased to have all the unknowns of, “I wonder how we will get safely to our hotel in Cairo in the middle of the night” taken care of so easily.
We slept til noon and spent the day lounging by the pool. This is the only break we have until August to relax and be still. I loved the ease and pace of today and I expect much of the same tomorrow.
