As I can recall, the most memorable holiday was in summer 2022 when we first as a whole family traveled to Egypt. We traveled to the Shamal Sheikh. It’s a famous tourist city. It is located on the shores of Red Sea. We traveled there by plane. I was there with my extended family, which means my immediate family, my husband and children and also my parents-in-law. It was very memorable because it was the first time we traveled abroad as a whole family. Secondly, it was the time when the pandemic ended and we finally had a chance to travel. It was my first time in Egypt. I think it was memorable. We enjoyed our journey there. We stayed at a five-star hotel. Everything was great. The weather was fine. The sea was warm. Also, for the first time, I tried diving there. Scuba diving is very exciting. At first, I was afraid, but there was a time under the sea. I saw how beautiful the undersea world is. It was just amazing. I always recall this travel as family time, as the first traveling experience with the whole family and especially with kids. The youngest kid was only 10 months old and it was also on one hand challenging. On the other hand, it was great to have this kind of journey, this kind of rest during my maternity leave. I think everyone should have such an experience. Thank you.

As I can recall, the most memorable holiday was in summer 2022 when we, as a whole family, traveled to Egypt. We went to Sharm El Sheikh, a famous tourist city located on the shores of the Red Sea. We traveled there by plane. I was there with my extended family, which includes my immediate family, my husband and children, as well as my parents-in-law. It was very memorable because it was the first time we traveled abroad as a whole family. Secondly, it was the time when the pandemic ended, and we finally had a chance to travel. It was my first time in Egypt, and I think it was memorable. We enjoyed our journey there. We stayed at a five-star hotel. Everything was great. The weather was fine, and the sea was warm. Also, for the first time, I tried diving there. Scuba diving is very exciting. At first, I was afraid, but once I was under the sea, I saw how beautiful the underwater world is. It was just amazing. I always recall this trip as family time, as the first traveling experience with the whole family, especially with kids. The youngest child was only 10 months old, and it was, on one hand, challenging. On the other hand, it was great to have this kind of journey, this kind of rest during my maternity leave. I think everyone should have such an experience. Thank you.
