The last visit was three days as part of a Cunard cruise on the VistaFjord. A ship since renamed The Caronia and then subsequently sold when Cunard became part of Carnival Corporation.<br />My first visit was incredible, we stayed at the Oberoi Hotel at the foot of the pyramids, rode camels, visited the Cairo Museum, the Grand Mosque and enjoyed a Nile River Cruise.<br />It is always interesting to re-visit a place. Things change, sometimes for the better, oftentimes though, local color is replaced with international flavor.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8675823808176372368-5080969619088442807?l=thompsonbrantley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dan Brantleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12632931272145859526noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675823808176372368.post-449814437420720142008-11-18T12:26:00.000-08:002008-11-18T12:31:24.234-08:00This traditional first post for any WordPress blog seems expecially appopriate to a travel blog.<br /><br />I have been a travel consultant for over twenty years and specialize in leisure travel. I have been affiliated with Rudi Steel Travel in Dallas, Texas since 1987. Rudi Steele is known as one of the top leisure agencies in the United States (but we try not to act like it!) And yes, there really is a Rudi Steele. The agency's association with Virtuoso and API before that means tremendous value for clients.<br /><br />Visit often for travelogues, tips and what have you form a life in travel, "It expands the soul!"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8675823808176372368-44981443742072014?l=thompsonbrantley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dan Brantleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12632931272145859526noreply@blogger.com2
