Thanks for all theadvice fellas.

Enrique,

I didn't know about the internet availability. Thanks.

Ummm, Bill, .... in Aussie slang, "dead horse" is tomato sauce. (Ketchup to you). LOLROFL As for taking my Zed, ha ha, you'll have to beat my son to it mate. I reckon he's just waiting for me to croak so he can inherit it.

Camel raping ?????????????? oh, come on now Bill, ... give me credit for having better taste than that. Have you ever been close enough to one to smell it ???????? Besides, ... the best camels over there understand the Aussie lingo. We've been exporting camels back over there for years.

beandip,

No worries about Al Cohol leading me astray mate, ... I never touch the stuff.

Mate, ... I don't want you to see me on T.V. either.

Well, golly gosh and geewillickers,

I left Oz at 2300 hours on the 7th and at 1205 on the 7th Big Bad Bill asks if I'm back yet. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUM DE DUM DUM DUUUUUUM !!!!!

Well Bill, as of 1205 on the 7th, the answer was ..... NO. ROFLROFL

I decided not to take any Vegemite with me in case it was regarded as a prohibited item. Besides, I knew that there would be Canadians in the group and figured their taste buds would be just as offended as a yan ... oops, ...American's

Enrique,

No internet access on the cruise ship mate. A Nile cruise is definately the way to go.

Lachlan,

I'll never complain about peak hour traffic again.

It was frightening enough to travel on the wrong side of the road but being caught up in 8 lanes of traffic on a 6 lane road with everyone blasting their horns to tell everyone else to get out of their way was so bloody terrifying I very nearly needed a change of underpants.

Gary,

You were dead right mate. Both places are great to visit as a tourist,(but I wouldn't want to live there).

Egypt can best be described with just one word ... AWESOME. You can read books, look at pics, watch documentaries but to actually reach out and TOUCH a pyramid or stand inside a Temple is, ..... well, .... AWESOME.

Our arrival at Istanbul in Turkey really blew me away. I didn't realise that Australians were so highly regarded there. As you can imagine, security is VERY tight wherever you go. Well, .. there we were, lined up to go through customs. Everyone's shoving their luggage through the X ray machines, emptying pockets, removing watches, belt buckles etc, (they made one lady take her shoes off because they had metal buckles on them), and then stepping through the metal detectors.

There were about thirty people in front of us. Along comes a Customs officer checking pass ports. He took one look at mine and said, in a very loud voice, "AUSTRALIANS? ... AUSTRALIANS? ... GO THROUGH, NO CHECK, NO CHECK" and ushered us out of the crowd, straight through without even our luggage being checked.

At Gallipoli, when I mentioned to the guide that my Grandfather landed at ANZAC Cove, he couldn't do enough for me. Took us to every memorial and shrine, even the Turkish one. Another Turk there commented in broken english that his Grandfather might have traded shots with mine. LOL

That's enough for now, gotta check out the threads to see what I've missed out on.

"Whispered" Hey, Enrique, ... has Bill been behaving himself? you know, ... no breats or funny hats????????

Rick.
