Well, it's a little over a month and I'll be able to pay the deposit on my trip next year and then I will be officially booked.
Looking at the photos I took last time has brought back lots of memories and given me ideas of the things I may want to look for when I am there to bring back with me.
I am really looking forward to Hotels, both Alexandria and Central Cairo hotels have gardens next to or around them which will hopefully provide heaps of photo opportunities. Also the prospect of being able to dip my feet in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean is rather exciting, maybe if I feel like it I'll do more than just dip my feet.
Then there are the extras I didn't  do last time that I have every intention of doing this time such as Abu Simbel. Maybe I'll even be able to talk myself into doing some decent haggling which was a bit of a disaster last time. lol
Another thing I am looking forward to is the updated Sound and Light show at Karnak Temple, I really enjoyed this last time and I have heard that it has been revamped and now uses laser lights. Maybe if camera's are allowed I'll be able to have a go at catching some of this - also this time I AM going to remember to buy the DVD!! Coming home last time without one was one of the disappointments of my trip.
Having the opportunity to go to the Sound and Light shows at Giza and Philae will be great too. Have seen photos taken at the Giza show which look rather impressive.
My Dslr camera will make things a bit different to compared to having a film camera last time. The fact that I will basically be able to take as many photos as I want is going to be very handy and then there's the fact that I'll be taking my laptop with me so I'll be able to download my photos as I go and not have to wait until I get home to see how they come out.

Well that's enough of my rambling, I shall finish by adding some photos of the things I am most looking forward to re visiting. 

 Tutankhamen's treasures at Cairo museum, it is a bit disappointing that you are unable to take photos in this museum any more but I am really looking forward to seeing all these treasures again especially the gold mask

Tutankhamen's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, looking forward to visiting this special little tomb. Only difference is this time the boy king's mummy will be on display.

 Karnak and Luxor temples, there are quite a few Tutankhamen photo opportunities in these temples. I'll have to do some research before I go and map out where statues and wall decorations are so if we are in the right place at the right time I am ready with my camera

The one photo that's not Tutankhamen related. The Nile cruise. In 1993 my Nile cruise lasted for 4 days this time it's 7. More time to sit and watch the world slide by and more time to take heaps of photos. :)
