I shared this calendar with a friend who said this should be a post on my blog. Notice that my new work week, and thus the kiddo's school week, will be Sunday-Thursday. Notice also that this school calendar takes into account Muslim, Christian, and Coptic Christian holidays. Other than that, it is not too different from Gladstone's school calendar. We are already trying to decide what to do September 9-17 for Eid al-Fitr. It has been suggested that we plan a vacation to Sharm el-Shiekh, a resort town on the Red Sea, where the diving is said to be some of the best in the world. Felucca rides on the Nile are also recommended - but we will probably wait until we can get advice from those at the school who have been in Egypt awhile before we book our trip for that week. Besides, it seems to me that it might be a good time to go somewhere a little further away, and further north since we have over a week off and the weather would still be nice in places like Sweden and Germany - and save the "inside Egypt" trips for our weekends - but who knows! There are so many places we'd love to see and we just feel so fortunate that we will now be able to see places we only dreamed about.
