		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 1pm and I&#8217;m sitting in Danny&#8217;s parents kitchen looking out at the backyard. The air conditioning is on, the fridge is fully stocked, the bathrooms have ultra-soft toilet paper,and the toilets are guaranteed to flush. These may sound totally normal to you, but these small conveniences don&#8217;t really exist in my world. Every few days we pick ourselves up and move to a new location.

		<description><![CDATA[Egypt may be a touristy place but it is also extremely backpacker friendly with a rather large selection of budget accommodation options in all major tourist spots as well as 50% student discounts at most attractions with a student ID, including an ISIC card.
Transportation:  Getting up and down the Nile is best done by overnight train. Egyptian security conditions, or at least the Egyptian Government&#8217;s opinion of those conditions, is always changing meaning that other options may or may not be available.

Aswan:  Aswan does not hold ...

		<description><![CDATA[Africa was shockingly expensive.  We expected that the touristy activities would be expensive but we underestimated the degree to this expense.  True, eating in Africa can be cheap, lodging too, but that&#8217;s about where the cheapness ends.  We definitely could have spent less here, but we wanted to do the &#8220;big&#8221; Africa things: safari, Kilimanjaro, mountain gorillas.
A reminder of how all this works.  Every dollar amount represents how much the two of us, combined, spent on the average day in a given country.  Airfare to and from the continent (very expensive to get to Africa) is included in transportation in the totals line and aren&#8217;t applied to any specific country.  As always, visa fees are ...
