Trip Canceled

The last two days have been very frustrating as I kept up to date with the situation in Egypt and consistently communicated with the Embassy updates. The protests have begun and they are scheduled to become widespread/violent starting this weekend. The US Embassy has chosen to close their doors on Sunday and Monday due to the unrest.
Hilton and the IIE called me today to let me know of the recent alerts and the decision to cancel the Teacher Trek trip. It is disappointing to hear the news that I will no longer be going to Egypt tomorrow. I am unsure of the possibility of being able to travel again later in the summer but I hope the opportunity is still available.

Thank you again for helping me win this Teacher Dream Trip and I hope it will be lived out in the future. So long from this blog for a while as I figure out how to cancel all of the bookings that have been made.

So sorry about the trip delay - was really interested in hearing about you adventures. Hopefully you'll get to reschedule soon.
