Hello to you all,

Our names are Sandra and Saied. We have two daughters who are 8 and 9.

For nine years we have looked at the whole of egypt to find a place to settle and bring up our kids, and decided on hurghada.

We are bringing a container for all of our household effects, plus a 15 week old labrador puppy. We have also decided on Rajac school for our girls. It all sounds so simple now but it has been a long haul to get this far. We fly to cairo on the 6th Aug 08 to visit family first.

Any help with the puppy, vets etc, would be much appreciated. My husband who is egyptian would be able to give advice to anyone who needs it. He has been living in the uk for the last 25 years, so he has the british mentality with the egyptian knowledge. We will be in hurghada around the end of aug .beg. sep. and will need to organise our internet at home.

Whoever is thinking of opening boarding kennels for ex pats, please can i encourage you. We all need to visit our familys back home and would like to know that our pets are looked after by animal lovers.

Sandra
