Egypt Travel Agent Suggestion
I'm on a family RTW and just decided to add a last minute whirlwind trip to Egypt with a couple of days in Cairo and Nile cruise.
Given some of the logistics it would be good to have a travel agent help select a cruise, flights, transfers. Can anyone recommend an Egypt TA? We've been traveling for 3 months and haven't needed a TA, but this looks like a time to get on-the-ground experience - especially since we want to go in a week's time.

I too just got back three days ago. We used Lady Egypt based on message board recommendations. They were fantastic. Very happy with all aspects.
We had a wonderful time in Egypt. It was quite hot, but it was wonderful to have the temples, tombs and exhibits with so few tourists.
We stayed away from the Sinai and did not get out of the vehicle in Tahrir Square. Other than those areas, Egypt felt quite comfortable and I'd highly recommend a visit before the tourist hordes begin to return en masse. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the political situation.
