One of my toxic traits is booking trips while on a trip.  However, whilst on my Munich – Dubai – Maldives adventure in January, I refrained from doing just that.  Instead, I focused on relaxing, enjoying the here and now, and reading 8 books.  So, the next adventure was long overdue with few airfare deals to be found.  I still have the unused ticket from Greece that requires travel to be completed by December and unfortunately work travel and obligations present a scheduling nightmare.  Figuring out where to go is dependent on airline schedules and affordability.  My bucket list is long and with 100 countries now as the goal – the possibilities are endless.  Using google flights, selecting for Star Alliance partners, I did a blanket search from Denver to Europe in August and October to see what deals were available.  While rebooking Greece was top-of-mind, avoiding summer crowds is also a goal – so October quickly became the focus.  Schedules, flight upgrade possibilities, and travel destination plus affordability all rose to the top of the priority list – and so did Egypt!  I can’t wait to embark on this 10-day adventure.
