Still not sure how a leader can become 25 billion dollars rich and be in power for 30 years and still be called a Democracy??? Hopefully they can have new elections soon and get some kind of order.

Originally Posted By mrpill ABD called us yesterday and let us know they are "monitoring the situation", also sent us an email..very impressed that they called and really care about us having a quality safe vacation. You are right though a lot can change in 5 months and we are hoping for the best. The 1st Egypt ABD is scheduled for April so they will probably find out before us if there are any cancellations. Hope we find out soon so we can rebook to another ABD vacation while there are still openings. Thanks again for the input!

I would definitely wait for them to make the call, since it seems like they are really on the ball with the situation, but at the same time I would also start looking for an alternate trip in case they do cancel it, since I would guess that their trips do fill up in the summer. Never hurts to be prepared
