>>Cairo's not exactly on the Red Sea (well, not at all). I'll be at Sharm el Sheik. Don't know if you already been to Cairo but, man, once you see those pyramids close up, you fully appreciate the immensity of them. Have a great time and work up a thirst for a nice evening bottle of Stella beer (not Artois), with the condensation running down the bottle - just like in "Ice Cold in Alex".

Terrific. Have a nice trip.

I've been in Cairo in 2000 (we visited Italy, Israel and Egypt then).
