Egypt Kaput

[WeLoveABD]

Got the call from ABD today--our xmas trip to Egypt was cancelled. Thankfully we didn't buy the airfare yet. I would imagine that all of the trips are off for now. It's a shame--looked like a great trip, but Disney can't control the politics there.

That *is* a shame! Are you going to do something else instead?

Sayhello

I am sorry to hear that. That is one ABD trip that I hope to do someday. How about joining us on our Tauck Africa trip during that same time frame?

Bummer!!
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, you can join us!!!!!

Our Egypt ABD (over this past New Years) was cancelled last September. I see the ABD website now only has Egypt trips for February and April 2014. Too bad.

Not as of now. We are looking forward to getting the 2014 dates for Scotland, which is likely our next ABD (sad to say-more than a year away!)

Hi Patti! Well, we view this as a sign that we should spend this xmas at home, and save up for a trip to Scotland next summer with ABD. We have looked at Tauck--get lots of nice brochures from them!--but have never traveled with them--so we are interested in your impressions of the trip, their guides etc. Are you in Africa for Christmas Day and/or New Year's?

We've given this trip a serious look--I like it, but can't get the kids too excited about it. (Pyramids yes; "Brave" inspirations, yes...) I'll rely on your trip report to convince them!

Oooo, I'm thinking about doing Scotland in 2014, too! Hmmmm...

That would be cool-Disboard road trip! (Get those 2014 dates out ABD!)

I should have been in Egypt now. My Father was taking my Sister and I on holiday. We had booked and paid with a tour company but too many people backed out before the final payment so it was cancelled. I am sad but he Rebooked with the company and we are going to China in two weeks time.

Hi George,
Yes, we will be in Africa for Christmas and New Years. The tour schedule has us hiking part way up Kilimanjaro on Christmas Day. I will let you know how Tauck compares with ABD. The tour we are taking is geared toward multi generations traveling together so they do have kids activities like spear throwing and bow and arrow lessons on the schedule.

Patti, I am interested in your review of how Tauck will compare to ABD. We have taken a Tauck Bridges tour and have our own thoughts. Please post after your trip. Have a wonderful time.

We've been thinking about Scotland too. Keep us in the loop if you book.

I have taken three Tauck trips. The first one was not so impressive, it was a Bridges trip to London and Paris. The two that followed, New York, and the Grand Australia and New Zealand were fantastic. I hope yours is fantastic.

Were the 2nd & 3rd trip Bridges trips, or "regular" Tauck trips?

Did any of the Egypt trips ever run?

There was a trip Oct. 2011 which ran with only 9 people in it. Our Greece guide Chris did it but he didn't elaborate much other than saying its a great itinerary. It really is and we booked it twice and canceled twice.

Twice?!?! I would be so disappointed!! I hope it doesn't completely disappear, it does look to have a wonderful itinerary.
