There's a particular scene at the very end of Titanic that has always stuck with me. Silver-haired Rose gets in bed and the camera pans across a series of framed photographs on her bedside table.
We see photos of young Rose in various scenarios, in a cap and gown, climbing aboard a plane, sitting atop an elephant, surrounded by family members, beaming on a horse on the beach. All photos meant to quickly convey a life well lived, a long and fulfilling life of adventure and happiness.
I wonder what photos silver haired Selena will keep on her nightstand. Graduations, weddings, Jessica, grandbabies and great grandbabies. What travel moments will I want to surround myself with? Me on a camel at the great pyramids of Egypt will definitely be on that nightstand.
When we were planning our trip to Egypt we started off with a week-long resort stay in Hurghada. During one planning session I looked at Matt and said "But, I can't go to Egypt without seeing the pyramids." I think it was the tears in my eyes threatening to spill over that convinced him that we needed to explore further than the resort. Of course, he was easily convinced. So not only did we add on a Private Cairo/Giza Tour but also a Private Luxor Tour which we booked through Egypt Tours Portal.
