Silvana & Ben

Big Ticket Item! That transatlantic flight is rough. But to get to Egypt, you gotta do it. And go over Greenland.

Egypt! You have to cross another sea to get there. I'll never forget when I stepped off the plane to go to Egypt in 1989 and almost drowned in the heat. This time, it will be winter. And awesome.

Hopefully we can find somewhere with an attached beach. This town on the Sinai peninsula is a hopping hub of beaches and nightlife.

There's a fancy-pants hotel across the street from the Town Hall. But it's pricy! Your gift will help us spend our wedding night in a fancy hotel, the mini-honeymoon before the international honeymoon.

Silvana lived in Egypt for 18 years, but has never been to the White Desert. A company called Backpacker Concierge does Desert Safaris that are phenomenal experiences.

No honeymoon is complete without some beach time, right? Even in December, Egypt is warm. Help us get to Sharm for a few days of relaxation and snorkeling.

When we went to Egypt in 2007, this was one of the most memorable things we did. Your gift covers a taxi ride, rides for both of us at AA stables, and a post-ride meal at the restaurant upstairs. Because riding horses is EXERCISE.
