I have the hiccups. To be specific, I’ve hiccupped pretty much non-stop for the last 24 hours. The taxi driver is freaking out a little. Not bad, and not about my hiccups, but the anxiety level is rising in the car. We’re lost. <Hiccup> “Where you friend go? He drive too fast! This the street!

February 19, 2011, 10-11 am. We’ve all been riveted by the recent events unfolding in Egypt. For those who know Egypt, it’s no surprise that the country is at the epicenter of a wave of transformation rolling through the Middle East. Egypt has a tremendous history of accomplishment: 4,000 years ago ancient Egypt reached the Continue reading Mysteries of Egypt – Presentation: Savvy Traveler in Edmonds, WA – February 19, 2011, 10-11 am 
February 19, 2011, 1-2 pm. The West has long been fascinated by the great cultures and spiritual traditions of the East. Names like India, Bali, China, Bhutan strike a hammer blow to the bell of our souls. We think of mystics, spice and far-flung temples. It’s ironic: China and India have been (and are, perhaps, Continue reading Spirit of the East – Presentation: Savvy Traveler in Edmonds, WA – February 19, 2011, 1-2 pm 
I hope all my friends in the Seattle Area can join me on July 31st for “Mystical Bali.” By now millions of people have been introduced to the island of Bali through Liz Gilbert’s best-selling memoir “Eat, Pray, Love.” The upcoming movie with Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem will only increase people’s awareness of Continue reading Mystical Bali – Presentation: Savvy Traveler in Edmonds, WA – July 31, 2010

From lush tropical jungles to windswept deserts and glorious ruins, travel photography promises adventure and immersion in exotic lands for both the photographer and their audience. Continue reading El Nur: Capturing the Light of Foreign Lands On our last trip we docked near a small village in upper Egypt and went into the town (this is one of the advantages to sailing on a private dahabeya) where we ran across a wedding celebration. The local woman were dancing in the streets and they just spontaneously invited us to join them. It Continue reading HD Video: Wedding Celebration, Egyptian Village near Kom Ombo Here’s a 7 minute promo video about our private luxury Nile cruise-ship “The Afandina.” Spirit Quest Tours’ next three trips will feature this incredible experience. Enjoy! Continue reading Video: The Afandina There’s a very nice interview with me about all aspects of spiritual travel in Circles of Light. Take a look: http://www.circlesoflight.com/blog/spirit-quest-tours/ HD video from the Cathedral of Deir Anba Bishoy in Wadi Natrun. A Coptic priest performs a portion of the liturgy during preparations for the communion service. This was part of the “transubstantiation” as the wine and bread are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. The big “bundle” in the center of the Continue reading HD Spirit Quest Video: Coptic Liturgy at the Cathedral of Deir Anba Bishoy I’m just about to leave for Egypt: Spirit Quest is leading “The Spirit of Moses” for two weeks. Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Philae, Kom Ombo, Luxor, Karnak, Dendarah, Abydos, Edfu, Sakkara, Giza, Wadi Feran, Mt. Moses, St. Catherine’s Monastery. I am so EXCITED about this trip. We’ll doing a spiritual pilgrimage through Egypt and to Sinai, Continue reading A Trip to Egypt: The Spirit of Moses During our last tour, with Houston Baptist University, I ran into my friend Robert Bauval over breakfast at the Mena House and he reminded about a spectacular phenomenon: the “solar rebirth” at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor which occurs at dawn on the morning of the winter solstice. I was familiar with this, but Continue reading Karnak Temple at Dawn Near the Winter Solstice Here’s a Flickr slideshow of some new shots of Luxor Temple (shot during Spirit Quest Tour’s recent HBU trip to Egypt and the Sinai). Continue reading New Photos of Luxor Temple For the last eleven years in Egypt, independent travel to places like Abydos or Denderah was forbidden by the government. Numerous cities could only be visited by tourists who traveled together in armed convoys. Happily this decade-long restriction has been lifted. This might seem like ironic news in light of the recent horrific events in Continue reading Tourism as an Act of Bravery Here’s a video slide-show of hundreds of beautiful shots from our recent “Sacred Mandala Pilgrimage” to Bali. Continue reading Video from Spirit Quest Tours: The Spirit of Bali I’ve just discovered a terrific video streaming/sharing technology for HD video called Vimeo. Since we’re shooting and editing in High Definition these days I was extremely happy to find something that it offered much better quality than Google or You Tube (all the way up to streaming HD), and I decided to repost the “Spirit of Egypt” video using it.
