Dont let the worry of tummy upsets ruin your holiday sharon . I'm sure you will be fine in November .

slight change in our plans...they rang us and said the boat was broke or sank..can't remember which. We are still going on 29th Jan but we are going on My Blue Horizon now. Hurghada watch out....

November is a great time to go or when its a bit cooler, tummy upsets virtually unheard of, its the summer months you need to be careful, have a great time x

Only you could be that unlucky Val .

Thanks for the reassurances, Lyn and Derwentrocker. one more question, do you think I will look too conspicuous in my white coat,hairnet and food temp probe in hand in the restaurants?

Have a nice time Gray, hope you enjoy your holiday

still a bit of a wait until i come to Egypt, Going to the Hotel Intercontinental In Taba Heights for my Hooneymoon, August 31st 2010. Looking Forward to it

Grandma and I are making our first visit to Egypt in January, staying at the Amwaj Oyoun Hotel and Resort in Nabq Bay.
Their website has a good option to see what the place is like, (360 panoramics etc) so we have some idea of the rooms, beach, pools etc but of course no real idea of food, service etc - seems like most reviews describe all AI food as edible but not inspiring!
Hotel reviews we have seen for the Amwaj on the Internet seem to give it a fairly 'clean bill of health' so hopefully all will be well.

We've arranged accommodation and flights seperately so we don't have a transfer booked yet - I'm all for walking to the main road from the airport for a taxi but I've got a feeling that grandma won't have any of that so I anticipate 'airport taxi hassle' ... any advice?

We've taken the following onboard, anything you think we've missed?

• Don't even clean our teeth with the water.
  Watch out for ice - look for the 'hole' that shows it's from bottled/filtered?
  Clean our hands regularly, especially after handling money and before eating, (taking wipes and gel).
  Don't get ripped off by taxis, agree a price beforehand and make sure it's for everyone not per person.
  Don't be fooled into going into shops unless we really want to.
  Watch the use of the room bar/fridge, recording anything used.

Any other current information/recommendations that you think will help these 'oldie' travellers will be greatly appreciated.

5 Days and counting

I hope you have a great time in SUNNY Egypt

Graham

Due to fly from Gatwick at 9.45 tomorrow morning...

IF they hurry up and open it again!

Hopefully all will be ok tomorrow John .By the sound of it it's to clear the runway . No doubt there will be delays but I guess you will ok with that as long as you get to Nuweiba sometime tomorrow .

You will miss all this snow John, do you want me to go in your place

Enjoy your holiday

Graham

No, it's OK Graham. I think I'll be able to grin and bare it. It'll take a lot of will power though.

Coming back again for the 3rd time at the beginning of March. So looking forward to it.
