Flight Centre’s Erin Davie jumps in to continue her blog series about Egypt with more vacation and holiday ideas. In part two Erin visits Luxor, Karnak, and hops on a felucca. Take it away Erin - We arrived at the Giza train station and prepared to board for the 9 hour journey to Luxor. I have been on overnight trains in other countries and this trip was a very pleasant surprise. We were served dinner in our little room and when we finished our attendant set up our beds for us. At one point in the evening we had 7 people squeezed into one tiny room for a makeshift cocktail party. In the morning, we were woken up about 5:30am in time to watch the sun rise over the Nile. We were served ...

So I've just returned from a whirlwind week in New Zealand (or the Land of the Long White Cloud to some). It was truly an amazing trip, life changing, and spectacular in every way.

Flight Centre’s Erin Davie travels to Egypt and blogs about vacation and holiday ideas. In the first part of her Egypt series, Erin arrives in Cairo and visits Saqqara, the Great Pyramids, and the Sphinx. I've seen many amazing things in my past travels, but nothing compares to experiencing the magic of Egypt.... Arriving into Cairo was an experience in itself, looking out the window of the plane and following the Nile through the small plots of fertile land on its shores.

Luckily our guide from On the Go was there to explain the VISA process as there ...
