Have a great trip.

I visited Tut's tomb and that was amazing. It's one thing to see a picture of walls and ceilings painted 3000 years ago and it's really another to view it for yourself. I also visited the museum in Cairo, and flew down to the temple at Luxor. Someone else mentioned that people can't hurt stone-- they really can. Sand had covered the columns almost to the top. You can see graffiti with the oldest at the top and it gets more recent toward the bottom. As the ruins are being excavated, the sand is chiseling away the hieroglyphics, so they are almost gone at the top. Interestingly, I think what made the trip for me was a layover in I had in London on my way back to the States. I lived in the British Museum the whole time. I was thrilled to see the missing items from Egypt, while at the same time horrified at how so many artifacts had been taken.
