Seeing the pyramids of Egypt had always been a dream of mine, but a dream that I had always assumed was beyond my meager travel budget. Luckily for me, I found myself face to face with a copy of Budget Travel magazine at my local Borders. That magazine featured a stunning picture of the pyramids and a headline about affordable dream trips.

Intrigued to see if their definition of “affordable” matched my own, I quickly found the article, and just as quickly found that trips to Egypt began at an amazing $899, including airfare, lodging and sightseeing. It took me all of five seconds to decide where my next vacation would be.

As I began telling my friends and family members about my upcoming trip, a theme began to develop. “You must be crazy” became the dominant theme, and everyone except me seemed to feel that Egypt was no place for a woman traveling alone in April of 2004.

Undeterred, I made my arrangements and found myself in Cairo. After an 11 hour flight, I was amazed when our tour bus pulled into a hotel directly across from the pyramids. We arrived late in the afternoon, but I simply could not put off this moment any longer. While the rest of our group was taking a nap, I headed across the street to explore one of the seven wonders of the world.

There is absolutely nothing that can describe the pyramids. No matter how many pictures you’ve seen, or how much you’ve read, they simply must be seen to be experienced properly. From the sheer size of the stones, to the way they fit together so perfectly, it is mind boggling to think they have existed for so many thousands of years.
