Sorry for so long between posts...internet is expensive on the boat..as is everything(they have you trapped!)
Our cruise is Awesome!!!! 10/10...Way nicer then we expected. It is beautiful to sail down the Nile and enjoy the view of passing small towns and farms...lots of palm trees and goats too! The ship is a good size..about 125 people on board...a dining room,lounge, and sundeck with a small pool and bar. We somehow lucked out big time and got the suite as our cabin!!! There are only 2 suites and we won the lotto...our room is twice as big as the others with a sitting room and it is at the front of the boat with wrap-around windows to see the view...and also a small door to a patio area...and real feather duvets/pillows and fluffy bathrobes...we are in heaven!
I almost forgot: the mini-fridge!!!! Our beautiful, beautiful mini-fridge.
Once we noticed it we jumped off the boat and bought enough pop and water and chocolate to last the trip and stocked it up! We are the cheap-asses who bring our own drinks to dinner...Ha ha! The only problem is mosquitos..well not for me, as they don't bite me...Sue on the other hand must taste delicious because she is waking up with bug bites...the other night she was up reading and saw 4 of them on the wall...she snapped and started yelling at them and banging her book on the wall to attempt an all out assasination...she missed them all but I laughed as I can't imagine what was going through the people's heads next door when they heard screaming and repeated banging on the neighbouring wall.
Another funny thing about the boat is the soundtrack...they keep playing the same mixed tape over and over but whoever made it accidently put some inappropiate songs on it (I think without understanding them)...it is a mix of instramental music, pop and dance music....The joy of our day is when we hear a certain Enya song we know we have to find a prime position next to the most uptight looking older person because in 2 songs it breaks into that old dance song "face down, ass up, that's the way we like to Fuck" the reactions of people's faces are hilarious!
Food is awesome too...huge buffets, nice 4 course plate service meals...couldn't ask for more!
The room cleaning staff always leave these elaborite "origami" towel animals on out bed when they finish the room..it is funny to see what will greet us each day..Yesterday I turned our towels into birds,the only origami I know, and Sue put one outside the door for the boys while I was showering...10 minutes later I got pulled out of the room in my bathrobe and ended up doing 10 minute inservice demonstation on how to make it for all the staff...then later that day they paraded me proudly to all the rooms to show me thier birds!! It was cute.
We have been stopping at different temples along the way down the Nile with a guide and are now on our way to Luxor..I am on my way to suntan on the top desk and read my book while it all goes by!

Sounds like you two are having a great time. Enjoy the sun as Calgary has had about a foot or more snow in the last few days. It is Sunday today and the sun has come back out, getting a little warmer. Have a good week.

Brad wants to remind you to bring him home kinder surprise. I want to remind you to bring me back a mummy. Just a reminder also that I think maybe you need to update your blog AGE!!!!! Ahem... 29?! Hey remember when we were 10 and we were figuring out what year we would be 30 in and it seemed like a million years away... I AM still disapointed that hover cars aren't the norm just yet... What a crappy future!!! As I recall that was also your Walk like an Egyptian phase. How fitting!!!
