Maybe something west of the Nile? Or in a smaller town outside Cairo. Thank…

Fortunately an officer came out and told everyone before we wasted our layover waiting in line with two exhausted kids. submitted by /u/foolp…

Trip to Chile I’m thinking of going to Chile as a graduation gift to myself in May. I’d go for 12-14 days, and would ideally spend some time in Santiago, Valparaiso, and Patagonia. Does anyone know if this is feasible in this amount of time? I’d only do day hikes in Patagonia and stay in Puerto Natales. Also, is May a good time to visit Chile? I know it’d be …
