THE BOOTS BAG LADY.

A story that has been doing the rounds in Luxor for a few years now, is the ‘Boots Bag’ lady. The story goes that a couple stayed in the Isis hotel In Luxor, & over the two weeks that they were there, the woman had been taken in by one of the local gigolo’s. He is Eamon, who has a concession trinket stall within the hotel, he has Egyptian wife & children, but also has several English ones to. One notably is Barbara, who has a face like a Pekinese dog, but has lots of money, haha.

Anyway, this woman believed everything Eamon  said & fell for him in a big way, lord knows why, he’s horrible. When it comes to time to leave, he tells her he’ll be waiting for her when she comes back; silly woman believes him. The day after she goes home with her husband, she packs a boots carrier bag, leaves him a note & heads back to the airport, boards a plane & lands in Luxor, no money, no luggage, just the bloody boots bag. She goes to the hotel & heads strait to Eamons shop, where he is entertaining his wife Barbara, who is out for 2 weeks. Of course, uproar follows & the woman is left distraught & with nowhere to go. She heads for the Guest Relations desk & asks for help, she has no money & the bloody Boots bag is all she has. She Is so lucky though, the guest relations rep is kind & contacts the husband, who is also very kind considering what she’d done, & they manage to arrange a flight back. God knows what she went home to, her husband would have to be a very understanding man to accept her back, but at least he helped her. We did have a good laugh when the story broke, but actually its quite sad, maybe because I fell in love with an Egyptian I can understand it, but these women, they leave their brains at the airport, they don’t see how its all a con. I had my whit’s with me & did some investigating before I decided anything, & I got lucky, very lucky.
