My spouse and I are putting together a trip to Egypt, starting in Cairo/Giza and taking the train down to Luxor to visit Thebes and the Valley of the Kings. The plan would be to stay on a houseboat there and sail back down to Cairo when we're finished, would this be something you'd be interested in?

	Definitely, that sounds fantastic. When are you leaving? ~~Oh- I should probably check with my- wife.~~ And are there any children going? Would Jack be welcome, or would that be a terrible inconvenience? He is most good natured. (Reply to this) (Thread)

As soon as arrangements can be made. I'm having to have a few gowns made so as to not scandalize the natives both Egyptian and Western as the standards are most definitely relaxed now compared to then.

Midweek perhaps?

Has your son had his vaccinations? I'd hate to bring a child along and have him take ill with something preventable in this time. I believe Bruce is taking Jacob though.

	Wonderful, a great idea. It's good that you know about these things, experience is invaluable. He has, Dr Banner got him all up to date around the time of the meningitis outbreak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you think he's old enough to get something out of it and you want to bring him along, I have no objections. I'm not sure it would be safe for him to go into the Valley though. I'll be staying behind on the boat since I'm obviously in no fit shape for such an excursion in this body. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, absolutely. He's hardly stayed still in his short life. And- the island has given him a little age-increase, so he's now eight instead of three. Oh, of course. How is pregnancy treating you? You can't have so long to go now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then he'll be a good companion for Jacob then, it could be the start of a lifelong friendship for the boys. Or they'll find out they're completely unsuited I suppose, but hopefully the former.

Six months ago I would have found that a very odd question to ask, but it's treating me as well as can be expected at this point. I'm bloody enormous and it's about impossible to stay comfortable, but the children are healthy and that's all one can ask.

Another month or so to go, which is why I'm anxious to go now and take the trip while I still can. Two weeks from now and it will be far too close to start anything like what we're thinking of.
