Two Days Away...Trip is Set

Janell and I are ready for our adventure to the Middle East as we await departure 48 hours from now. We hope that we do not hear about any cancellations tomorrow as we did the day before the Egypt journey.

We will be packing tonight and preparing for the hot desert temperatures of Jordan. The high for Sunday is 103 degree Fahrenheit! I will make sure to bring a hat and some 50 SPF sunscreen :). Fortunately, our hotel is in Aqaba which sits along the beautiful Red Sea (students find it on the map).

Here is our itinerary for the week:

Friday: Depart Indy for Chicago; Board Chicago flight to Amman, Jordan (12 hour flight!)

Saturday: Arrive in the capital of Jordan (Amman); Drive 4 hours to our hotel in Aqaba

Sunday: Tour to Petra (Wonder of the World- what I am most excited to see and experience)

Monday: Tour to the Dead Sea (Lowest point on the planet- hope to swim in all of the salt)

Tuesday: Tour to Wadi Rum (Lawrence of Arabia- amazing desert geography)

Wednesday: Red Sea/Aqaba day

Thursday: TBD

Friday: Drive back to Amman; Flight home to Chicago/Indy

It will be quick and exciting! Looking forward to the experience.
