Don’t break the Sphinx’s nose. Kidding. Sorry. On a lighter note, travel lightly. Egypt lies on the continent of Africa and not too far from Israel and Jordan—and it gets incredibly hot. Your best wear should be the lightest summer clothes you have, but please keep in mind to have your dress as modest as you know, as many in that region are of Muslim and Buddhist tradition. Three quarter sleeves, tee shirts and gauzy blouses, khaki and loose, light colored capris and walking shorts and sandals are acceptable fashion.

If you’re going to have an extended stay for your ride at the airport, better look into advance reservations. Many major airport hubs like Kennedy International, O’ Hare International and LAX have extended parking stays for a monthly fee.

If you need reading glasses for that eye-blinding small text used in the maps, by all means, use them! That text type is small for a reason—it’s to fit everything on the map that should be in that map. Another way to find if you’re going in the right direction: Ask a local where your destination is. They’re glad to assist you in finding your way and can give you landmarks to look for. Just pick a nice lady when you do ask for the elusive directions.

For starters, get good walking shoes. And, not to sound crude, but it truly helps to start walking to gear your body and mind for the endurance needed to handle a walking holiday.

A walking holiday is just that: You walk everywhere. To the shops, restaurants, sites, parks and gardens, and even when you get to the sites, you’re still walking. Plan to hydrate—and plan for good bathroom access when that’ll inevitably be needed.

You could go on the referral of a friend to find a quaint B&B, but let’s face it: if they have special memories of that place, why would they want to share that special place with others, including you, the BFF? It’s a territorial thing, nothing personal, and those memories and private moments from the B&B, well, that locale information will be hoarded fiercely. So, what to do?

You’ve gotten the needed shots, the dog got his, too. You’ve saved the Starbucks pennies, packed the right clothes, you even made sure you have the right adapter for the your cell phone and MP3 player chargers. As the big day arrives, you’ll have to do a little homework in getting great currency exchange rates. The places to get the best rates are in banks, post offices and American Express offices, especially if you use Amex and bank checks and post office money orders.

There’s a chance you’ll be on holiday you’ll have to attend a meeting for your job. When you have to be apart from your children for business or personal reasons, here’s some tips in checking out nannies to mind your cherub-cheeked angels. The ways to go at checking an agency or babysitting service are slightly different then how you’d go about a background check in the United States. But, there are ways around this. In checking out a sitter’s background, however, please watch how to handle doing this through their cultural laws, rules and traditions.

Every Sheila (another term for female) needs alone time to rejoice, recharge and reset their perspectives, so she takes a vacation to settle the nerves. It’s best, though, for every gal traveling solo to remain alert, calm and level headed if something does go afoul.
The rules that apply for her being alone in the United States should apply when traveling, too.

Whether a novice or an old hand in the recreational activity of backpacking, the “what to bring, what to leave home” essentials are crucial for the veteran and hiking rookie. Starting out for the first time, it’s best to cruise websites and online group listings like meetup.com or Yahoo! to find a group usually open to newbie hikers. How to pack, though, is as individual as you are—but ground rules on what goes in still applies.
