Review: Hilton Luxor Hotel
Luxor is just a quick one-hour flight down the Nile from Cairo, but it couldn’t be more different. It’s not nearly as populated, not nearly as crowded, and the ruins are completely different from those in Cairo and Giza.

Eating Gold – High Tea at Burj Khalifa
There’s something pretty amazing about afternoon tea, especially if you’re in a place where they do it right, like in London at the Millennium Mayfair, our favourite. But there’s something even more magical about having your afternoon tea at the world’s highest restaurant.

Calgary Stampede – Yee Haw!
Alberta. Canada’s Texas. Literally. Cowboys, big hair, rodeos, farming, and oil. And every July (usually the first two weeks of the year) they hold the Calgary Stampede, a collection of all of these things rolled into one. I first learned about the Stampede when I moved to the west coast and was talking to a coworker about things to do over the fourth of July weekend that didn’t involve staying in Seattle. He suggested that I do...
Touring around Cairo with a local
Of all the things that we did on this trip, and all the things that we planned, I came to a stark realization the day before our trip to Cairo. We’d completely forgotten to book any tours, any tour guides, or any activities at all for Cairo. At this point we were kind of freaking out, but it actually all worked out better than expected.

Hilton Sharjah review, the “other” Emirate
Sharjah is one of the Emirates that doesn’t get much attention, in fact, when we were telling most people about Sharjah, they had no clue where it was on the map. Turns out it’s only about 20 minutes north of Dubai airport and there’s a Hilton there too!

Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve
Now, for an interesting change of pace, we decided to do a safari drive outside of Kruger Park. There are plenty of private game reserves (once again, just make sure it’s not one that allows for game hunting…) and you can do a different kind of safari if you choose the private options.

Sunset Safari at Kruger Park
No. You’re not going all the way to South Africa to spend all day at a hotel or spa and not going on a safari. And contrary to what most people believe, there are many, many affordable options if you stay away from the pre-packaged lodging + safari combos, which tend to go for exorbitant amounts.

South African Airlink from Johannesburg to Nelspriut
South African Airways offers a cheap and reliable service throughout the country, and considering just how difficult it can be to drive in South Africa, sometimes taking a quick hop is the best solution!

Protea Hotel by Marriott, Kruger Gate, South Africa
Of the 5 gates to the Kruger National Park in South Africa, only one has a Protea Hotel. The Protea Hotel Kruger Gate hotel is perfectly positioned just a 5 minute walk to the entrance to the park.
