I've never been to Egypt but I have the opportunity to go there for 14
days at the end of December.
I fly into Cairo, and I am hoping to meet up with a friend in
Alexandria if he can get there by a specific date. If I can't meet up

I want to climb Kilimanjaro in either Nov-Dec 2007 or Feb.2008.

I was hoping to fly to Nairobi and go by ground transportation and

for just the two of us, with an international flight Paris/
Johannesburg/Blantyre. Then we would take the road until Liwonde
