Travels in the Middle East 1990: Overland from Athens to Aswan (via Israel, lower Egypt)
In 1990, for our first trip abroad together, we planned a month
long overland trip from Greece
through Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. Then Iraq went and invaded
Kuwait about 3 weeks
before we were to set off. So instead we overlanded and "oversea-ed"
through the Greek Islands to Cyprus
and Israel before heading over to Egypt and down the Nile. Still
haven't made it to Syria and Jordan...
(Intifada II broke out and ruined the second trip in 2000; once again
only after plans had been made and
tickets had been purchased.)
Travels in the Middle East 1993: Oman, Bahrain and Yemen
After Kevin graduated we took off on a six month jaunt in Asia, the Middle
East and Africa.
Somehow, while on the road, this evolved into an attempt to overland as far
as we could go.
While bad sailing weather and middle eastern boarder paranoia forced us to fly
to, from and
around the Arabian peninsula, we spent some quality time in Oman, Bahrain and
Yemen. (We
did overland from Taipei, Taiwan to Karachi, Pakistan and from Asmara,
Eritrea to Cape Town,
South Africa.)
