Oh, yes. We had four bags with us from the start — one for every day. The kids were very good about them, too, reminding me that we needed to do our part!

Fabulous trip. Did you eat your vegetables? I don’t think gummi-bears count. It should be marshmallow peanuts, candy corn and jelly beans.

I have been over parts of the route you so wonderfully described, I can’t wait to go back. You’ll enjoy Egypt, it is a land of contrasts. I spent 33 days there training with the Egyptian army in 1989. I saw mostly sand, but did play tourist for half a day in Cairo. Be sure to do a camel ride at the Pyramid?s, but watch out for spitting camels (and the quick hands of the kid pickpockets).

Do you remember visiting Yellowstone the summer you were nine? You went across the Beartooth Highway in Montana and Wyoming, US 212 if I remember correctly. It’s not the Alps, I’m sure, but it has similar heights and similar issues with opening the passes when spring arrives.
