Hi Lindsays,
Feel free to look me up on Facebook at rachaellundy@gmail.com or shoot me an email. I would love to keep in touch about the Alexandria trip on the 28th. Thanks for contacting the tour group about that and getting the information. Would you mind keeping me posted on any responses? Thanks so much. Can't wait until it's here! |

Hey Guys,
I can't believe the trip is so soon! I fly in at 10.40 from Dubai on the 27th so the alex* trip on the 28th sounds great (so long as they can get us back on time). Better than hanging around the hotel! I only just realised there where 4 pages of messages, Ive been checking back recently thinking nobody had been on for a while. 1 Month to go!!!!!!!!!!!! Emily |

Hey Everyone,
Sorry i haven't been on the forum for awhile... i have been working a lot. Anyway, below is the latest emails between Julie Knight and myself regarding the day trip to Alexandria Re: one day Alexandria tour From: julie (julie@egypt-excursions.com) Sent: October 22, 2009 6:53:53 AM To: Lindsay Marion (lmarion_02@hotmail.com) Hi Lindsay, I am fine thank you, Ok if you can give me the how many on both dates or all on one date one week before you are coming will be fine that will give me enough time to organise everything for you. Have a nice day Many greetings Julie Director www.egypt-excursions.com www.egyptexcursions.com Red sea Hurghada Tel: 0103516753 / 0106042728 / 0106112827 ----- Original Message ----- From: Lindsay Marion To: info@egypt-excursions.com Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 10:19 PM Subject: RE: one day Alexandria tour Hi Julie, I'm doing good. Counting down the days until Egypt. Very exciting. How are you? Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Posted the email I sent you, as well as your reply to me on our Egypt Contiki trip forum. So far, four of us interested in the November 28, 2009 day trip to Alexandria. At last count, 5 people were interested in the November 27, 2009 trip to Alexandria. However, sounds like 3 out of 5 of those people are only going to be arriving in Egypt on the morning of Nov 27. Unsure at this point whether Brenda and crew will change to the 28th or just stick with the 27th. When would you like the concrete numbers by? I need to know so that i could post the information on the forum ....as well as any other information you may have. By the way, is it at all possible to get back to our hotel in Cairo by 7pm. That is when our meet and greet is scheduled for. i think some people are hesitant to choose to do the tour on the 28th because they want to be back at the hotel for then. Thanks, Lindsay" Okay, so far it sounds like those interested in the day trip to Alexandria for Nov 28/09 are: Lyndsay,David, Rachel, Emily and myself (5). Those interested for Nov 27/09 are: Mark, Jyoti, Neil, Jamie, Brenda and her husband (6). Brenda will be incontact with Julie for the Nov 27th trip and I (Lindsay) will be in contact with her for the Nov 28th trip. Julie said to let her know the concrete numbers one week before so she can organize things...but how about everyone who is interested in the Nov 28th trip to Alexandria let me know by November 15 so that i can email her. Thanks, Lindsay |

|

Hi David,
We booked the tour on Oct 12 and received the packet today.. Lindsay, My friend (Vishakha) and I (Jasmin), both 31 traveling from New Jersey, would also be interested in the day trip to Alexandria on the 28th - that is, only if Julie can guarantee getting back to hotel for the meet n greet. Also, is there some sort of deposit required for the day to Alexandria?? All, Can't wait to meet you all.. three more weeks!! :-)) you can find me on facebook using email: jasminp78@yahoo.com TC, Jasmin |

Can anyone tell me if they're finishing the trip before 7 pm in the evening? If yes, I'm ready to join in on the 28th, but I really don't wanna cut my Alexandria trip short to go on the 28th.
Also, for those who're arriving on the 26th evening or 27th morning, we can go to Dahshur to see the "Bent Pyramid" & the "North Pyramid" which we'll not be seeing in the contiki trip. |
