To go or not to go Our well-wishers thought we were nuts going on a cruise holiday at this time, can't blame them, they are sane people. Even our children were concerned. Our son dropped us off at the airport and gave us lots of advice. We booked our holiday six months ago before Corona showed up and we couldn't afford to cancel this holiday we have been dreaming about for a long time, if we did, we may not make it ever. It has been on top of our bucket list forever. It had to be ticked off. We decided to take the risk and go! The Flight The effect on tourism is obvious although I have no way to compare plus it's not school holiday. Our direct flight from Bristol to Egyptian coastal city Hurghada was full, because maybe like us people booked well in advance. But huge Hurghada Airport felt empty.  Corona-panic is almost non existent in Egypt. We brought sanitizer, wipes, soap etc. Wiped the arm rests of our seats and put the sanitising gel on hand and face,
