In June of 2023, I reserved a spot on a two week tour up and down the Nile. As a history major, it seemed like a bucket list opportunity.

Then, two weeks ago, I was almost literally flattened by a steamroller called Covid. (That’s where I’ve been.)

I’m down about 60 deben and tire easily. Heck, I’ll need a nap after I post this Tip!

So, while I’m definitely on the mend, I’m in no position to schlep through the Temples of Luxor, Aswan Et al.

And the trip starts next week. I’ve just canceled.

Here’s the punchline.

Guess who didn’t buy Travel Insurance? (It would have ‘only’ added about 12% to the cost.)

OK. I’m going to go crawl back into bed.

At least I won’t have to remember to take off my shoes!
