As part of the Empress of Britain world cruise, my grandmother stopped in Egypt in late 1932.  Together with her sister and mother they rode camels around the great pyramids and the sphinx.  I went there myself in February 2010, almost 80 years later.  This seemingly long gap is really just a small dent in the time that these amazing monuments have been around.  I hope they are still there for my grand-daughter to see.
