Dreaming of faraway lands
After suffering through auto transmission and home plumbing repairs, my summer vacation budget is woefully low. I might be able to swing a day trip to Milpitas or San Martin, but only if I stick to ramen or peanut butter sandwiches for the next month or two. As every family I know seems to be heading out on the open road, I fantasize about my dream vacation—a trip to Egypt. It is probably not one of the destinations that the State Department cheerfully recommends to tourists these days, but I have always been fascinated by the ancient Egyptians. What a sight it must be to gaze upon the pyramids at sunset, or to walk in the footsteps of Howard Carter, who uncovered the wonders hidden deep inside the tomb of King Tut. Between the political unrest of the area and my legendary anxiety regarding flying (turbulence!), a trip to Egypt is probably not in the cards for me anytime soon.
