Hey Katie,

No. This is my first tour, so I thought I would see how it goes.

I'm not new to travel, been a lot of places.. this is the first time by myself though. Should be fun.

How about you? How do you like Germany?

This will be my second tour but my first will be over Christmas, so not long before this one.

Germany is cool, I really like Munich. Okoberfest is coming up quick which is exciting. I'm working for Kraft Foods and they have a company okoberfest afternoon. Last week they were asking for for volenteers to leave work early and sit at the reserved tables untill rest of empolyees arrived. Its a great job! :-)

What do you do in Canada?

I'm really looking forward to this tour! Do you know how hot its going to be there? I'm not quite sure what to pack.. haha.

Wow. Where are you going on your first tour? Around Europe somewhere? That's a great christmas present! haha.

I work as an underwriter. So desk job, lots of paper etc. ITs still fun though. Still, can't wait to get away from everything and get to Egypt! So excited!

I googled weather it seemed like its pretty comfortable highs in the 20's but can be cold at night. Packing is going to be impossible freezing european winter (I'm going on the Berlin/Prague/Vienna trip) and summery clothes for egypt all amounting to a weight below 20kgs :-S I managed that getting to europe in March but I'm sure thats no longer possible with the amount accumulated.

So excited about this trip...I'm loving the reactions when telling people where I'm planning to travel... where are going? The european countries you just don't get the reaction until you say...and EGYPT :-D

I'm on facebook if you're connected ..Katie Gollan, New Zealand I'm the only one.

Ooh 20's sound good. Especially for Jan. Winter in Canada is... big surprise... cold! haha. So it will be nice to get away from that. There is no snow here yet, but its only a matter of time..dun dun dun! Hmm, I'll have to be creative on packing then. Someone told me that women have to be careful what they wear over there, so i'm getting lots of scarves and stuff just in case..

Your European tour sounds fabulous, i'm sure you'll have a great time, but I do see your conundrum with the packing...I would try packing lots of layers.. airlines have got so anal with this whole weight restiction thing!!

I have been telling friends and people at work, where i'm going and I also get the same reaction.. its along the lines of "wow, Egypt".. haha. I can't believe its less than 60 days away! YAY. Are you coming in a few days earlier to Cairo from yoour other tour?

I'll add you on FB for sure. Woot!
