Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough."

She in turn said, "Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad." They kissed and she left.

He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude(打扰)on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this“forever good-bye” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral, " he said.

"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, `I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?”

He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone”

He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled even more. "When we said `I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain(使……持续)them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following:

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear mush bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough `Hellos' to get you enough the final `Good-byes'."

Then he walked away.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH!

Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before . We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of trip. So here I will give you same travel tips.

What should I wear?

If you're lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it一the desert gets rather cold at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you're going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there's a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home一it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan un bringing something that comes at feast to the elbow, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.

What special things do I need to pack?

one of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer wrath a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it's dropped 1o or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.

How do 1 communicate with home?

Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. if you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it-AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure, but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile，but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.

What medical preparation do I need?

In a word: none! The one thing you may come dawn with in Egypt is politely called "Pharoah's Revenge.” The thing that gets rid of pharoah's Revenge is a regionally produced medicine, an
