Right gang, I’m at East Midlands Airport just about to take off for a fortnight AI in Hurghada, Egypt.
Not my idea, but I shall enjoy it.

I shouldn't worry, YM, just don't wear a bikini and do go round shouting "Ee ecky thump, by gum!!" According to my uncle Google, the last two Egypt shark fatalities were women and they were foreigners, so follow my advice and you'll be OK.

It will be interesting to hear what your impressions are, YM. I’ve heard directly opposing opinions of Egypt, so it will be good to hear from someone else. Enjoy!

So far, nothing. Just that tiny bit of ‘feeling a bit different’ you get when you go abroad.
However, SWMBO has been struck down with Amenhotep’s Revenge, and she’s stuck in the room for the morning (if not longer).

Oh dear - not good! Hope she feels better soon.
What type of hotel are you in? Am guessing one of the larger ones with amenities for the teens so you can give them some freedom in a safe environment? The Riu one we stayed at in Agadir was great for all ages. Let us know what you think of Egypt, when you have time 😁

Sorry not been on site much recently, still trying to get house in Nottm sold and have taken full time job in Newton Abbott which is a bit intense. We are off to Montenegro in just over a weeks time. Not quite sure what to expect but will be an experience. Have a great time in Egypt YM.
