Egyptian Holidays

Considering Egypt as a vacation destination, we had to desert – or maybe outgrow – our oldskool notions about Cleopatra’s neighbourhood.

A Few of My Favorite Posts

This little piggy went swimming was one of Marilyn’s favorite pictures from 2009, and a winner of our Great Outdoors Photo Contest.

A wacky squirrel popped up in Banff, Janelle almost got eaten by a grizzly, I had fun in the Yukon, Chris Elliott interviewed the rapping flight attendant, and Andy Carroll led us on a history treasure hunt with the Here Is Where project. Looking back on Intelligent Travel posts from 2009, I wanted to revisit some of my favorites.

We had lots of excellent entries in the “My City Celebrates” holiday feature, and my favorite is probably the funny one from travel blogger Nick Rowlands, who wrote about Christmas in Cairo. (I follow Nick on Twitter at @pharaonick.) We also got a surprising post from Aysegul Surenkok about celebrating in Istanbul. You can check out all the “My City Celebrates” entries here, from Toulouse to  Bejing to Oslo, part of our “I Heart My City” series that is written by our well-traveled readers.

Speaking of holidays, we had great fun with the many delightful entries in our Peeps in Places photo challenge, where we asked our readers to send us photos of the familiar marshmallow creatures in locations around the world. Thanks for the laughs!
