We love watching shows about the discoveries of antiquities, and when we saw that Trafalgar was offering a tour, we knew it would be an exceptional travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <\/em><\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/where-go-real-history-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Where to go to discover the real history of Egypt<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/05\/Promo-edited-image-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"John and Diana Ramsey sitting in front of the pyramids\" class=\"wp-image-25855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Promo-edited-image-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Promo-edited-image-1-330x248.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Promo-edited-image-1-80x60.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Promo-edited-image-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-did-it-feel-to-be-travelling-again\"><strong>How did it feel to be travelling again?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was awesome to travel again!

The flight crew were anticipating that they would have to divert to Iceland, but I determined it wasn\u2019t life-threatening after examining the passenger.&nbsp; The crew had all the necessary equipment and medication.&nbsp;<br><br>With assistance from International SOS, I administered the proper medications intravenously, which greatly relieved his symptoms.
