After starting our Spring 2012 vacation in Switzerland (see Trips to Europe), we visited Egypt. We spent four days on a Nile River cruise and then had three nights in Cairo where we visited, among other things, the pyramids. Altogether, we saw lots of ancient sites!
In 2010 we were in Australia, starting in Sydney. We visited various wine regions, took the train from Sydney to Adelaide, and stayed in Melbourne. We then flew to New Zealand where we went from Christchurch on the South Island to Auckland on the North Island.
