Kirill, aka Merlin, you've turned everything upside down again.
1) How does a trip to Egypt differ globally from a trip to Kyiv, in terms of talking to your wife... so, everyone is just as weird.
2) In Kyiv, there were 4 rounds and 4 days, and we still managed to relax in the evenings. Egypt is planned for 7 days, which means that in addition to just free time from the games, there will be another 3 full free days for relaxation.
3) The idea of letting your wife go is nonsense. Does anyone plan to leave the hotel grounds and wander around the cities, and then we'll all get on a local bus and go to Cairo... don't make me laugh, Merlin (i.e., yourself).
....
In general, I want to combine relaxation and a tournament.
Don't you really see the difference between Kyiv and Egypt? Or between a Castle and Barbarians?
Get married and run two scenarios: go to Egypt without your wife (and tell her that you are going to "relax" without her), and then go with your wife, but don't let her leave the hotel grounds, and don't leave yourself...
Since I have never been to Egypt, I would spend all my time getting to know another country, another people, and another culture + swimming in the sea. And I would only sleep "on the hotel grounds," and eat if it's "all-inclusive."
As for the timing, who prevents you from arriving earlier and hanging out in Moscow or Michurinsk, or hanging out in Moscow on the way back? Do you want some exotic food? Lobster with both?

Playing in a club creates a completely special atmosphere around it. The very atmosphere that we unfortunately don't have at our current apartment gatherings. For me, any intellectual activity, whether it's Heroes or poker, is work (and in the case of poker, it's also physical work for me). I'm not going to relax in the sense of unwinding. I'm going to work and relax.
Mee, you are going primarily to RELAX, as the tournament is in second place in your own sentence.
So, what do you say - can I order tickets while they are still available? And I'll go on credit (because I'm unemployed due to various mass layoffs)...

By the way, please provide an estimate of the costs per person, excluding airfare (I have already found the tickets). Preferably detailed.
