I believe that most everyone has long term life goals. Things that they wish they could experience sometime during their journey through this mortal coil. A drive deep down from one’s being that fills us with a desire to experience a certain place or event. For me that desire is to visit Egypt. Since I was a very young boy, the land of the Pharaohs seemed to call to me. I have always known that one day I would step foot on the sands of the Sahara and see with my own eyes the wonders of ancient Egypt. For decades the goal eluded me. The trappings of everyday life coupled with a hesitation to embrace the unknown have kept me from fulfilling my dream for years. But then fate stepped in and showed me the way. I was fortunate enough to befriend a fellow named Simon Cox during one of my visits to England. As fate would have it, Simon was an Egyptologist who had been to Egypt more then 20 times. He offered to take me and show me the places I had only dreamed of for all those years. After months of planning, we set the trip for April 2009. My dream was to be realized at last! I decided to include a small circle of friends in our adventure. Like minded souls that felt drawn to the sand. Besides, it is always more fun when your with friends.
