Sharm el Sheikh? Check. Before I begin, let me conclude with a statement a friend said to me 3 seconds ago: "I don't know, but Sharm is the kind of place you just kind of go to say you've been there."My sentiments exactly. I got no street cred if I can't say I've been to Sharm, and well, Sharm has been to. It is basically just as everyone describes it: big party town, lots of foreigners, open handles of Absolut in the street (ok, i added that one), and five times more expensive than any other place in the country. This is not to say I didn't have a good time. A superb time was had. We were able to hook up with some guys (excellent padres) who had some hook-ups, so Mix was able to roll a VIP table in Pacha at a much reduced expense. The other guys like good alcohol, so not only was I rocking Scotch on the rocks, but later on introduced a little Mixology with some after party Caucasians, including the necessary "I used to make these with Everclear" comment.
I am proud to be part of the exclusive community of folks who can say they went to Sharm and never made it snorkeling. I think I was either sleeping or drinking. Or both. As with any place, the memory was made by the company. Juan displayed his super powers and Kaitlin helped to narrate our movie-life. The three Canadians provided for much entertainment and amusing dialogue and the other high rollers kept 'em coming.
I had a great time, but I'll remain a Dahab fan. The excellence of the site-decision for nomadfest: egypt has been comfirmed.
PS Juan extended his ticket two days. Sucker.

Likewise:
- had a good time there
- good snorkeling and fun party scene
- too many tourists
- too expensive (and pretentious)
- would probably never go back
"too many options he could barely handle it"..I take it egypt took well to the "Juan love, Juan life" concept..
And he's the one calling me the Bart to his Milhouse.
