Sweet...Lets go

We just had a pre-tour meeting and I am so excited to go. I even pulled out my suitcase. I haven't started packing but I started throwing in odds and ends in. It was fun to meet people in the group and Brother Gunnerson who is the tour director. Here are some cool things that I learned.

• A camel ride up Mt Sanai is only 10 dollars.
• Scuba diving at Eliat is 25 dollars.
• Alabaster is a type of rock.
• Most vendors and merchants accept American dollars, which will make shopping and bartering easier.
• You can drown in the Dead Sea if start out facing the wrong way.
• Did you know that shouldn't drink the water in Egypt? Ok maybe that one is a bit obvious.

I am really ready to go. A couple of the members have started a blog which they will update as we go. I will post it before we go.

I've heard a complaint that I don't update my blog enough, something I will try to do better at.
