Good stuff.

I won't be celebrating at all. Well I might eat some baklava and them some Tayto and dream of home.

I think it's very indicative of this country that your own Saints days generally passes by without a murmur yet you go all out for other days. Sad really.

Starry I assume that you originate from the good old erin's isle but what is baklava?

Thats interesting Paddy. I am thinking of going to Egypt next February. Do you have any favourite places in Egypt. Do you know if the nile cruises are any good.

Big birthday coming up and I want a holiday to remember

Nothing, celebrating St George's Day is RACIALIST everyone knows that.

We lived in Cairo until we moved over to England. And loved it, but before that we had a flat in Ghardaga (Hurghada) which is where I was born. I can't recommend Ghardaga enough - beautiful beaches, reefs and diving (Some great shipwrecks) and while it is obviously a tourist area it isn't quite so commercialised as central Sharm//Naama/Taba/Alex/Cairo are.

The Nile cruises are very good. The Wonders of The Nile one is the best I have been on - Luxor to Aswan Dam, the Obelisk, the Philae Temple, then take a short plane ride to Abu Simbel, them Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings then the sound and light sound before leaving the boat again in Luxor. But you can pick the cruise to visit the places you want to go and ignore those that are of no interest.

February is a great time of year to go as well. When we lived out there it always amused us the amount of English people who came in the middle of Summer and they couldn't do anything because they find the temperatures so unbearable.

It never used to be considered racist to celebrate St. George's Day. Unfortunately the English flag was hijacked by the BNP for their own political ends. I think its about time we got our flag back. I'll be wearing and England shirt.

Thanks for that Paddy. We were originally thinking of Hurghada but it is good to have it recommended by somebody. I think you have just convinced us to go for it. Egypt here I come (better start saving).

I am sure you will love it! We try and go back often (not as often as I would like though). We hope to go in October this year.

Let me know if you book, I can tell you some great places to eat/drink.
