| Blair on family holiday in Sharm El Sheikh |
| 2005-12-27 |
| LONDON â British Prime Minister Tony Blair began a family holiday yesterday in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, a spokesman for his Downing Street office said. No further details of the visit were given other than that the family was paying its own transport and accommodation costs. âThe Prime Minister is now on holiday for a short winter break,â a spokesman added. Blairâs holiday travel plans are not normally released for security reasons. |

| #6 Boy, those Brits don't learn real good, do they? Last time Tony had his holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, we wound up with tiny pieces of a French airliner in the Red Sea... Definitely not terrorism, though. |

| #4 Apparently, if you like sand, sun and water it's very nice, particularly in the winter -- 70 to 80 degrees, etc. There's a thin veneer of first-world comfort with the hotels, etc., so that you never really see Egypt itself. I've never been there, but from what I read, it's popular with the Euros. Sorta like Cancun with terrorists. :-) |
