    The desert gets cold at night! For part of our trip, our family will be camping in the desert with a Bedouin Tribe. In January, the desert can get cold at night, reaching 32 degrees Fahrenheit!

    Up until a couple weeks ago, whenever I thought of visiting Egypt I pictured the pyramids, lots of desert sand, and hot-hot sun. Now that I am taking my family for a month-long adventure, I'm shocked at what we are actually packing!

Use resources like reading the State Department's website for any updates on travel alerts, immunizations, visas, contact info for embassies, and hospitals. It's important to also connect with people who are educated and experienced with where you are going. Here are 7 things we learned you need for traveling to unfamiliar destinations. - By Me Ra Koh
