Time will tell.....
In your travels if you get a chance to go to Sharm, by all means do. You know how to get along with others no matter where you are, and the people there are not anti-American. Most of them want to practice their English on you. It is far cleaner than Cairo, that's for sure!
Oddly enough, I was thinking about Zappa and Joe's Garage just the other day.
The reason I chose Hurghada instead of Sharm was that I only had flight bennies on Egypt Air, and if I got bumped in Hurghada, it was a 4 hour bus ride to Cairo, where I could fly the wonderful and sorely missed TWA home! The drive from Sharm to CAI was much too long!
I retired from the biz, I can fly my airline for free (no flights to Europe, just Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica), but I still have the itch to travel. In Nov, I went to Cambodia and I loved it, along with a trip to Thailand, my favorite spot on earth. Travelling on a positive space ticket is a different experience!
Joe's Garage rocks!
