>>>>Seeing the Stryped Pyjama Squid reminded me of things I'll be seeing, now that I've booked to go off and get wet again in the Red Sea, on the 20th. How looking forward to it am I? Not forgetting the Egyptian pound is a 1/10 of £ Sterling, so lots of very reasonably priced seafood, and beer at c. 30 pence a half-liter bottle :-)
>>>
>>>Cool! I will be in Egypt May 15-22. See you in Cairo. :)

>>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".

>>Have a great time and, if you SHOULD take a day-trip or so to Sharm, Id be happy to hook up.

>I guess you fly straight to Sharm, right?
>Yes, this is my first time in Egypt and I can't wait for these pyramids. :) I have the 10-day tour including Cairo and the Nile cruise.
>But I will be in London all day this Saturday, and then spend a week after Egypt visiting Ireland, Scotland (Edinburgh) and Bristol.

Yes, straight to Sharm. You're in London at the w/e. I live 1 hour away by train, on the South coast, and Saturday's the "Streets of Brighton" festival, with lots of free street theatre and shows going on, and a pyrotechnics spectacular on Sat eve.

If you could slip down (rather than boring London) I'd be happy to host you.
Sounds like an interesting and very specific itinerary: Egypt - Ireland - Edinburgh and Bristol (why Bristol?)
