So as Paige says, " The whole world knows I'm going to Egypt." lol...well one problem. I was always slightly reluctant to travel to the middle east, but being from America I don't think I really saw the immediate threat. Although, my thoughts changed when I heard of the news in Egypt that a cruise ship had sank. I just read an article on it and it appears that a fire broke loose on the ship followed by a loud bang. Does this mean there was a bomb? It was very unspecific. I want details. I want to know I'm not risking my life to see pyramids and camels. I took a poll of many of my good friends and all responded with the same comment, "go!" I was given statistics and data telling me that the chances of this happening is less than getting struck by lightening or getting into a plane crash. I am going to talk to the head professor of the trip and get her opinions on the matter. But as of now, I am still going. There are risks and dangers everywhere.
