Hi Ryan and Lynn - what you need to do is get a multi entry visa and residents visa from the passport office in El Tor. This is the cheapest option and is very easy if you intend on going to Sharm soon. Your lawyer ( mine is Zeiad and this is what he arranged for us ) will arrange for a colleague to meet you at the passport office in El Tor. He will get the visa for you - works out about £15 or so for both. Only one person needs to get these. We then went to the notary office up the road in El Tor and he helped us get the Power of Attorney which you need to get and give to your lawyer. You cannot get the POA without the visas. POA is 40le which is around £4. Is is an wasy process. When you have the pos you simply hand it to your lawyer and the rest is down to him eg court registration in Cairo etc. El Tor is about an hours drive from Sharm. If you need a taxi driver let me know as we use and English lady called Allison and she charged us £15 return ( she also charges this for airport transfers as well ).
BE AWARE though that to be able to leave Sharm you need toget the single entry visa when you land in Sharm for $15. There is really only need for one person to go to El Tor but if more than 1 wants to go make sure you all get the single entry visas because there are check points as you leave Sharm and you need to show your passport. Hope this helps.
Ref kettles etc there are lots of electrical shops around and a new one opened in Carlton Mall by Il Mercato in Hadaba. The large supermarkets under Mac D's in Naama bay sells small electric items ad kitchen utensils as well. There is a shop by fun town that sells bedding and another in Il Mercato as well. The big Metro sells kitchen equipment and small electricals such as kettles as well. Check their website which is in the shopping thread ( I think ) which will tell you their monthly special offers. I think April had the kettle offers.
I am having connection probs at the moment and am currently in Witherspoons using their free WiFi so dont worry if you send me any pms and I dont answer straight away.
