    Hotel Guys - #27 Traveling Cairo, Egypt on a Budget — Audio Version

    Pyramid time! It's our second visit to Egypt and we tackled Cairo on our own as independent travelers—unlike our first time as part of a tour group. It's totally doable, enjoyable and rewarding! There were some twists and turns in our generous week-long visit! We visited a couple new places (Wadi El Rayan and the Faiyum Oasis) and some simple favorites from our first visit like having lunch at Khan El Khalili Restaurant & Naguib Mahfouz Cafe in the lively central Cairo bazaar. And of course we ascended the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid to the King's Chamber. Listen to the podcast for a tip on how you can get a VIP-like private visit on the cheap! No need to pay the special access fee for some privacy! We also visited Luxor (and Dendera and Abydos) covered on a separate podcast.

    Our friends John and podcast host Nancy join us for an intimate discussion about death in Oregon, USA. Almost all 50 US states have State-supported home funeral options. Home funerals can address and honor a complex emotional time that fosters family and community to come together to create a unique and meaning experience of saying goodbye to our loved ones. John opted to have his Mother's funeral at home, with assistance from death doula and our friend Nancy Ward. John shares the story of his Mother's 2023 illness and death using hospice followed by a home funeral he designed with his family, with assistance from Nancy. We also share a conversation about the end of life and home funeral and natural burial for our Doberman, Dino, who died nine years ago.

    Hotel Guys — #24 Around the World in 85 Days — Audio Version

    Rich has been away from the United States for over a year and will be returning later this summer, along with hubby Paul, to a country our podcast host Commissioner Nancy Ward says is in turmoil and will be unrecognizable. We're uneasy about going home! We talk at length about recent outrageous, oddly un-American political developments in the United States. A hasty departure from our troubled America will be followed by a month in northern Italy and two weeks in Egypt. We're going around the world in 85 days. In this podcast we preview our careful planning.

    Global Hotel Guys — #23 Our 45 Days in Malaysia — Audio Version

    Malaysia sits at the crossroads of our SE Asia playground. After our wonderful visit last year we decided to return for a longer visit at our same Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur. Shopping, medical services and alopathic and alternative healing was a highlight throughout. We enjoyed a second visit to Malaysia's second city of Ipoh, known for it's lively food scene among other charming features. Rich took a solo getaway to Cameron Highlands too and lived through his slip and fall mishap to enjoy the region's fresh strawberries and cooler temperatures.
