Re: November 28th departure who’s going?
Hi - just a quick hello from the beautiful Zahra, where we are on the Jewels of the Nile trip. It has been a dream come true. Loved the Marriott Mena hotel. Wonderful location and great staff and service. Every day has been a wonderful adventure. Fran - our itinerary does state that we will be visiting the Synagogue.
We visited Karnak and Luxor Temples today. There has been much work done to prepare for the big opening of the Avenue of the Sphinxes, which is to take place next week, to much fanfare.

Re: Antarctica
Cathy don't let it upset you. The flagger is a pathetic coward hiding behind anonymity. His/her "opinion" is meaningless and worthless, and should simply be ignored.

I am Jewish. I found Alan’s post helpful and positive. In my opinion there was absolutely not one thing inappropriate with that post. Thank you Alan for always being willing to help anyone on this forum.

Re: Ridden hard and put away wet!
Ndvb, what was the basis for deciding that you had sufficient antibodies? My understanding is they still don't know how much is enough - whether produced by actual infection or the vaccine. I certainly expect that eventually scientists will know ( or at least have a good handle on it) but I haven't seen anything from any source that they have this one figured out. At that's just for the average person vs someone immune compromised for other reasons.
Lol, you don't trust Fauci or Biden. I've been criticized lately by an unvaccinated person because I didn't believe much of anything from the prior administration. Like, how rude of me not to believe anything a certain person said.
To the flagger, have at it.

Re: Tauck v. Viking
We are both 72 and have taken 4 River cruises in the past 10 years. We have also taken land tours in that time frame. We are far from decrebid but we enjoy the pace, excursions and luxury of the river cruises. Just shows you some people like vanilla and some like chocolate. Personally I like pistachio. Don’t let others decide what is appropriate for your travels. Go with what you think you will enjoy and mix it up. Travel well.

Very very safe!
We are presently on this trip and it is wonderful!! It’s a great time to go! I feel way more safe here than in the U.S. and I almost canceled our trip. Glad I did not…it is fabulous and there aren’t any crowds! There are only 17 of us on the ship Isabela II. Wow. It can hold 40. Guides are awesome and cater to us. I feel very safe re COVID.
