Egypt #1 for Adventure! (AKA "Driving")

Egypt is the top destination for adventure travellers according to a recent poll. In some places, adventure means scuba diving or rock climbing. Maybe safaris or ancient ruins.

In Egypt, it means riding a bus.

Six Aussies recently died here when their tour bus driver "lost control." And according to statistics, it happens a lot. Egypt travel, while cheap, is often deadly.

Not for me though, right?

I read somewhere that having a child makes you realize your own mortality. For me, I knew I was mortal when I stared down a Red Lodge ski slope and suddenly realized I wanted to live. In times past, I'd look the Devil in the eye and cannonball down without a moment's pause. It was after Alaina was born, so maybe that was it. Maybe I just got older.

Either way, I might not sleep quite so easily (?) during my next trip on a Upper Egypt Bus. Co. cruiser. I want to live.
