Civil Disturbance Interferes with our Holiday Plans

First for the enlightning part of the story: for the first time in years my dear wife and I have won us almost 4 weeks of vacation in a row.
Therefore, we planned to go for some cool diving on a liveaboard in the Red Sea.

And now for the ugly part: due to the political situation in Egypt with all this civil disturbance people are obviously reluctant to go there.
Which of course results in more than lowly booked liveaboards. That in turn leads to canceled tripps or at least very short lead times for booking because agencies cannot plan more than 2 weeks ahead.

So we changed our mind and we will see if there are other interesting spots in the world which are easier to get to without complete uncertainity...

Maybe we get to Thailand and get a first-row view of Red Shirt activists fighting against the governmental establishment ;-)
