Sorry for the caps xd I kind of wanted my absense to be noticed.
On Friday 17th August I will be leaving my home country, England, to spend 10 days at my beloved Egypt. Everyday right up to Wednesday I will be working alot and on Thursday I probably will not be on the PC because of packing and such. Therefore I probably will not be able to accept invites, answer your PM's/requests and check up on the guild.
I will return to ... England on the 26th August (ok, not quite 10 days) though I doubt I'll be online for a few days after that because of more work sweatdrop
So during my absense BEHAVE! Thanks guys xxx

Rennie has RETURNED!
That was a great holiday, I didn't know what I was going to do until we got there, so I'll explain what we did:
Day 1: Flew from London Heathrow airport to Cairo International Airport. We went to our first hotel.
Day 2: We visited the Egyptian Museum in Cairo then afterwards we visited the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. That evening we boarded a sleep train went travelled down to Aswan (12 hour journey).
Day 3: We got off the train at Aswan and made our way to our next hotel where we got ready for a hour camel ride around the West Bank. When we got back we could do what we wanted until the evening but my family decided to visit Philae Temple (Belonging to Isis). That evening we went across the Nile to have dinner at the Nubian village which was not as bad as once thought.
Day 4: After breakfast our group boarded 2 feluccas. We decided to have kids on one boat and adults on the other, I decided to stay with the adults along with another teenage girl I was with. We sailed north for the whole. We only stopped twice for toilet break until we finally stopped on an island in the Nile for dinner and rest. It was a great evening! The boys and men were playing football on the bank whilst us girls spectated. We also joined had some entertainment, the sailors were playing music and singing.
Day 5: We woke up in our felucca and the air was cold!!! At 4am the sailor woke and we drifted up the Nile to Kom Ombo. When we got up and got ourselves ready we visited Kom Ombo temple. Afterwards we went on a mini-bus and we sped to Luxor where we had the rest of the day free.
Day 6: We visited Hatshesput Temple then 3 tombs in the Valley of the Kings (Ramses IV, Ramses IX and Tuthmosis III). We had the rest of the day free ... thank God!
Day 7: We woke up early and we went on a horse and carridge to Karnak Temple. When we arrived the men were redoing the front of the temple and there was an archaeologist inside the temple. After that we had 2 hours to get ready for a loooong journey to Hurghada. There was a strict time for us to get there because we had to leave as one huge convoy ... and I mean one HUGE convoy (about 20 or so mini busses). We arrived at Hurghada at 6pm, the journey took over 4 hours.
Day 8: I dreaded this day the most though it turned out to be really fun! We went snorkling in the Red Sea. We started off in a relatively shallow area then we went to a more deeper area ... 10 metres deep or more. It was amazing!
Day 9: We woke early to board a flight back to Cairo. We were so lcuky because my family went first class, yes, FIRST CLASS!! When we arrived back in Cairo we had the whole day free then we had dinner at a Bizaar, then we went SHOPPING!
Day 10: We returned to London Heathrow, eventually, after a 4 hour delay.
