Ok, your probably thinking wow another iJon travel thread :).
Well my tour company called me today and said they had to cancel my trip to Thailand cause only 3 people signed up. I was dissapointed but they did inform me that they are working on an egypt trip that they only need 6 people to go. this for right after christmas so i said sign me up. So i put my deposit from thailand on that trip.
Now my parents went ape s*** about going to the middle east. My dad there is no way that I am going and saying that is were all the hate is and all that stuff cause of the Iraq war I assume.
What I want to know is anyone is familiar with Egypt and if it's as bad as my dad is saying it is. I don't think it is but I also haven't done my research, which I will. I honest don't think the biggest tour company in the world would take six students if they thought they were in harm. The guy who I talked to goes to Egypt twice a year and says it is full of the nicest people and is just wonderful.
Now I do respect my parents cause they do pay for my house, tuition, my car, food, probably everything that a human needs. This trip is one thing that I will be paying for myself and I will probably piss them off royally and catch that plane without telling them. the results will probably be bad but I will be 19 when this trip goes on so I won't feel to bad. Please provide some imput, whether it be our relations with Egypt or how incredibly stupid I am.
