We had a short vacation this October in Istanbul. Our trip began on Friday 9 October 2009 aboard MEA flight at 8:35 am. The flight took one hour & a half. We arrived to Istanbul at 10:30 am. We waited half an hour for the transfer to the hotel because the travel agent was waiting some other travelers. On this time, Ali bought a Turkish cell line to use on our stay. We arrived to Ceylan Intercontinental hotel around 12:00. Istanbul is an old city, you can see the remains of many ancient civilizations and their culture in harmony with Turkish culture. The old versus the new, the traditional versus the modern is a conflict a visitor often observes. The city is full of contrasts, and colorful views. We were upgraded to the 18th floor, ... read more

Mneimneh family had a wonderful vacation this August exploring the sights, sounds and tastes of two lovely cities Vienna & Salzburg. On Saturday August 4, 2007 at 12:00 o’clock Bassem Halwani, Ali’s (my husband) cousin drove us to Rafic Hariri International airport. Bibo (my 7 month old baby) was sleeping since 7 o’clock so he woke up in the car and was awake at the airport when we were checking in and boarding. Our flight was aboard Lufthansa Airlines flight 3519 at 03:05 am to Frankfurt, Germany. It was a smooth 4 hour flight and Bibo slept a little on his mommy’s laps. We arrived at Frankfurt at 06:15 am- Local time. Frankfurt airport is huge and nice. It is one of the largest airports in Europe and a hub for travelers. We had to ... read more

Egypt Trip Cairo & Sharm Sheikh 29/12/2005 till 4/1/2006 Thursday 29 December 2005: Our 304 flight on MEA departed from Rafik Hariri International Airport at 10:45 it was not a smooth flight since we experienced some severe air turbulence. We arrived to Cairo at 1:20 and a minibus drove us to Zamalek to Ranwa & Ali's house. The driver of the minibus was very brave in driving “a la egyptienne” and the road took us less than an hour which opened the discussion between Ali and I about driving rules in Egypt. Since me & Ali visited Egypt several times and specifically Cairo, we know all the tourist attractions in this city like the pyramids, the museum, the tower etc… we wanted to have a local view of Cairo or in another way to see ... read more
