[QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [qb] Albino, costing more isn't the same as being more expensive...perhaps that's where we disagree. It should cost Americans more, simply as flights are longer - just as it would cost more to drive Luxor to Cairo than say Alexandria to Cairo. THe cost is relative to the journey. Despite this, as illustrated above, there are deals out there, for Nile cruise/Cairo packages, comparable in price to identical European ones. I learned this from Egyptian friends who were surprised how little Americans could 'do' Egypt for. On a different note, your tooth does sound painful. I imagine sleep is difficult, for you right now. I hope the meds help. [/qb][/QUOTE]I slept for two days straight when I got home. Now off the antibiotics I can't get to sleep as easily. Nevermind the fact that I have drunken neighbors hanging out in the streets at 4am. :rolleyes: they are white so they can get away with anything, if they were not white the police would be her cuffing them by now. So the air fare is relative, which is why Americans do the Mexican Riveria instead. Don't bother calling us cheap. And these package deals are out there, but many of americans are allowed to buy these "packages" through their employees and pay in increments until the vacation date. Because "basics" like my tooth aren't covered by the government and HMOs vacations are a rarity. And I am hedging my bets that most of the "Americans" traveling to Egypt are of Egyptian heritage with family in Egypt and thus don't need a freaking package, they need to see 300 people in 12 days before they come home. And alot of American travel agencies don't offer these "nile cruises" packages. They'd have to go straight to the actual cruise operators. Americans get told all the time to book their travel plans through a reputable local travel agency because a local travel agency would have to anwser to the community if you get stiffed. If an American had trouble with an European travel agent, it would be the travel agent's trophy for the year. "Look everyone, I made a nightmare vacation for an American! Fight the GOOOD Fight! Those nasty Americans! They deserved it for not pressuring the US State Department to be "good little Europeans". This has happened so often that Americans aren't willing to book package tours with European travel agents because there are so many horror stories. We don't trust European travel agents. I can't tell you how many college kids get stiffed when buying Euro-rail passes in Europe that are bogus and end up lossing hundreds of dollars and end up going home after a few days instead of staying 45 days in Europe as planned. You buy Euro-Rail passes from Carlson and Hobbit Travel because they won't screw you over. But planning a trip to see family in Egypt is fail proof, you'll end up sick, fighting with dispondant relatives and you'll get screwed anyway. Its better to get screwed by a nation of people you are part of. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
