You walk like an Egyptian….

Egyptian Pyramids

Yeah tell me something I don’t already know.

No, I’m not talking to the 80’s hit by The Bangles. I haven’t quite lost my head like that yet. Though….No no I haven’t lost my head like that at all.

Who was I talking to? Well just about every Egyptian man who lined the streets of Luxor desperate to get hold of me or catch my attention.

I’m not being vain. Believe me. The last think I wanted was to catch their eye. It was just something they did! To everyone!

What am I talking about? Well I’m talking about my trip around the world last year, that landed me in Egypt for two weeks. I went from Cairo to Aswan to Luxor and back to Cairo again.

It was an incredible trip that I did by train. Have you ever woken-up to see the Nile drift by you? I didn’t think so. It’s stunning.

Which is why you should book to go NOW! Don’t delay. Why? Well for one reason the CTravel agency in Bermuda can get you a great deal.

In fact if you book by December 31st you can received a discount of as much as $700 on a ten day trip through Egypt! Four of those days will be on a boat.

Need I say more? Well you’d be traveling the same route I did. But unlike the backpacker I was, you will travel from Cairo and along the Nile, in the company of distinguished Egyptologists, who will happily explain both modern and ancient Egypt.

Visit bazaars alive with color and fragrant spices, and gain an appreciation for Egypt’s unique diversity. And the best part? Sailing along the Nile on the 47-guest Salacia.

So make sure you contact CTravel today to book your discounted tour of Egypt.

Or do your cultural tendencies lean toward the musical kind? Perhaps a little Jazz will lighten your day? How about for nine days?

Jazz Cruise

Yep well through the company My Escapades and CTravel, you could be sailing with 80 Jazz greats for nine days!

With the likes of Johnny Mandel, James Moody, Wycliffe Gordon, Jeff Hamilton, Jon Gordon, Freddy Cole, Shelly Berg, and Ernie Adams to name a few.

Imagine listening to the soothing sounds of Jazz while navigating through the Caribbean! From Fort Lauderdale to Nassau, San Juan, St. Maarten and Half Moon Cay, you’ll have an amazing time for the price of just $2,599 per person.

The best part for Bermudians is that price includes flights from Toronto to Ft. Lauderdale to begin the trip. With the introduction of WestJet that’s an easy and cheap connection to make!

Or are you looking for something more hardcore? Maybe a trip up and down the world? How about from Cape

Rome

Town, South Africa to Rome, Italy?!

Well Princess Cruises through CTravel are offering a cruise in April next year that costs only $5,499 per person and is 26 days!

How cool would that be? It would be.

You’d be taken to Namibia, Ghana, Senegal, Togo and then to Spain, France and of course Italy!

And the price starts at just $5,999 per person for the 26-day cruise!

Of course I’m missing some of the countries in the list, but you wouldn’t when you travel in style with Princess Cruise lines!

So make sure you enjoy your holidays now, book your holidays for later and of course come back tomorrow for more Robyn’s Wanderings!

What’s your name?

Want to fly?

No, seriously. What’s your name?

Robbles.

No it’s not. What’s your name on your passport?

Oh….it’s……a struggle. It’s a struggle. Bermudians have so many nicknames we can’t seem to remember the exact name our parents wrote on that piece of paper as we struggled to enter the world.

Or more importantly the one we placed on the form as we applied for a passport. Sound crazy? It happens more often than you realize, according to Carl Paiva of CTravel.

Why does this matter? The ubiquitous nicknames that bound around this 21-square-mile island are not what the airlines are looking for…..and they WON’T let you travel.

We’re not alone in this issue. Apparently lots of other countries also struggle to know their names. So starting November 1 this year airlines without your proper “Secured Flight Passenger Data” (say that ten times fast) will be fined and will take that out on you.

No plane for you Robbles!

So make sure you fill out your passport details because you wouldn’t want to miss some of these amazing deals brought only to you….yes you whatever your name is….by CTravel.

How sad would you be if you couldn’t fly around Namibia in a private plane for 12 days for just $7,995? Yeah I would be.

Fly over and then drive through the Namibian desert before hitting the sea to discover the dolphins and seals that waddle around Walvis bay!

The luxury is not lost on this off-the-beaten track tour of Namibia either. You’ll get the chance to hike along the Uarosib River and enjoy a visit with local Himba families who will share their stories and traditions before a two-day safari.

Where can you sign-up? I though you’d ask. Well with CTravel of course. And don’t worry they will make sure you get the right name on your passport!

Or maybe you want to travel from Bermuda without ever having to leave Bermuda? What am I talking about?

Cruising from Bermuda with Oceania

No I haven’t lost my mind.

I’m talking about CTravel’s Board in Bermuda cruises. In April (yeah but these cruises fill so book ahead!) you – Bermudians and residents – will get a chance to walk the plank….onto a cruise that delivers you to Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos and Miami for as little as $1,725!!!

If you stay on you go through the Panama Canal to California and Mexico for as little as $5,975! All without having to leave the island.

You’ll still need the passport though so….make sure you know your name!
