A day trip to Petra. Since I was also there eight years ago, I now get to be a pompous ass if it ever comes up in conversation. "Whenever I'm in Jordan...." "The last time I was in Petra...." etc. etc. I've always regretted how few pictures I took last time. I think I overcompensated. When I saw that the Indiana Jones gift shop is still there I had to have my picture taken in front of it again. I may be fatter, but I now realize I still stand exactly the same, and am still wearing the same back pack.
I still find it cool that you can stand in one place and see Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Egypt. Note: they all look very sandy.
Susan also had the pleasure of being yelled at when someone didn't think she was tipping well enough for a horse ride included in the admission price. A 600 m horse ride. Not sure what the expected tip is on a 2 minute ride.
