My Egypt Experience, 6th – 20th January 2016
We have spoken before about our upcoming trip to Egypt and thought we would stop to again let you know we are gathering numbers for this voyage and would encourage anyone who is thinking of Egypt to join us on this departure. This trip has been prepared by an expert in the local region who has been developing and running tour groups to Egypt for over a decade and who has seen to it that the tour will cover the best of this country!
(If you are unable to see the above video clip we recommend visiting our website or youtube to view the clip directly)
As you can see we will cover the highlights of Cairo from the Pyramids of Giza to the complex at Saqquara, the monuments at Memphis, Saladins Mosque, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, the Egyptian Museum and More. We take in Alexandria including the Roman frescoes, the new library and the Commonwealth War Graves at El Alemain. We cruise the Nile, visiting Luxor and visiting the Valley of the Kings and the Temples of Luxor and Karnak, as well as Aswan where we take in the High Dam, Philae and Abu Simbel, and all the major sights in between including Kom Ombo and Edfu.
This tour has been made to ensure you have the best opportunities for sightseeing, travel and experiences on this trip. As examples here are three things tailored into this tour to bring you the best experiences in Egypt!
1. Cairo Hotels. Our first stay in Cairo is in Giza, so when we head out to sightsee we can spend more time sightseeing and less in traffic, while our second stay is downtown and closer to the attractions we will be visiting on our second stay, and more centralized for your own wanderings in this incredible city
2. Abu Simbel. Many tours have this as an optional, having been there and seen it, we can tell you that after the Pyramids the Temple Complex at Abu Simbel is one of the most incredible sights in Egypt. So we have included it, and rather than wasting over 16 hours by doing it as an overland journey we do it by air, giving more time to enjoy other sights in Egypt then barren rocky roadsides.
3. High Tea. Ok this is one that is hit ans miss with some travellers, but taking High Tea at the Old Cataract Hotel where Agatha Christie wrote Death On The Nile is a great way to get a taste of the old colonial charm that the British Empire brought to Egypt, and watching the sunset over the cataracts while you enjoy a good tea or coffee and light snacks is a fantastic way to end a busy day.
So if Egypt sounds like your “cup of tea”please give us a call on (02) 4421 5577 or email nowra@mytavelexpert.com.au to reserve your space on this departure today!

Join Us and Discover the Sounds Of The South
The last century has seen a plethora of music styles emerge, from Pop and Disco, to Rock and Grunge, and beyond. Many of these music phenomena have “heartlands”in the states, and that is what this tour is all about. We begin our journey in Atlanta moving onto Tennessee, the heart of Country Music in the USA, then we journey to the home of the King of Rock and Roll in Memphis from which we journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans – a voyage through the homeland of Dixie, Jazz, Blues and Soul!

Oh What A Night! My Travel Expo – A Review & Specials
What a fantastic roll-out we had for our Travel Expo yesterday, the largest we have had yet, and in the best venue to date, if I do say so myself!
For those Solo Sisters members that attended that we didn’t get a chance to speak with, I hope that you had a chance to talk to some of the providers we are working with on our 2015, 2016 and 2017 departures. I hope that you are excited as we and our travel partners are about some of the upcoming trips from Africa to Kangaroo Island- including the three we revealed on the night: Mississippi Experience in May 2016, Rhine & Rhone Experience in September 2016, and our Mekong Encounter in February 2016.

My African Experience
It’s here! Our latest upcoming group departure! And this time its something really special! Africa
We are doing an amazing trip in June 2016 to Kenya and Tanzania, taking in the best of the national parks including Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro to name just a few. There will be the possibility of viewing the “Big 5” (those being Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo) as well as other varied wildlife, and we will be using a mix of hotels, farmstays, permanant tented camps and seasonal tented camps. This trip is a fantastic way to get a taste of Africa and the wildlife that the region is so well known for!
For the current Itinerary and pricing please look at the full itinerary here!
Accessibility: It should be noted that this trip is fairly easy going, so if you were hesitating to think of Africa due to mobility issues, then think again, unless you are wheelchair bound there won’t be many problems – and even for the wheelchair bound traveller there are options available.
Accommodation: For the accommodation the properties being used are all very reasonable and have been chosen for comfort as much as location, and from what you can see in the below images the permanent tented camps are equal to many four and five star hotels and the seasonal camps are still amazingly well equipped – even coming with their own toilets.
So if you think you hear Africa calling, why not give us a call to register your name for this incredible journey!
My Tasmania Cruise Encounter

Classifieds: Cruise the North Pacific

So if you have ever wanted to see even the basics of China, or cruise the waters of the Northern Pacific, encounter the Arctic Circle or if you are a single traveller who enjoys cruising this may be the opportunity for you! For more information just contact us!
Shoalhaven Solo Sisters Spectacular Silos Social Soiree
One of our favorite places down here in the Shoalhaven is the incredible Silos Estate, who in our opinion make some of the best wines here on the South Coast. You can take a brief look at what they have to offer on their website http://thesilos.com/ where they have all sorts of information about their wines, their restaurant and their event facilities.
Our love of this fantastic place is why we have decided that our next “mingle”will be held here – a perfect chance for some of our single ladies and gents to get the chance to know some of the other single travellers out there in our association who are looking to meet like minded travel contacts.
The Shoalhaven Solo Sisters Spectacular Silos Social Soiree will be held on the 14th March 2015 at a cost of AU$35 per head with a maximum of 20 people joining us for a great lunch and wine tasting. If you would like to join please rsvp by the 10th February 2015 on (02) 4421 5577 or at nowra@mytravelexpert.com.au.
Remember places are limited so first in, best dressed!
