We have arrived, so I am starting a new topic.

Travel went very smoothly, even though for us it was something like 30 hours door to door. Upon arrival in Cairo we were literally whisked away in a golf cart, escorted to a lounge, served tea and five minutes later we were ready to go, all the formalities and visas being taken care of for us. Traffic was a nightmare, but we finally arrived at the Four Seasons a bit after 7 PM, unpacked and split a burger in the Library Bar. On the way back to our room we ran into Kathy and Al who were just arriving and had a brief introduction to diixiechick and msunderstood who were on the same flight.

This morning I can see the pyramids in the hazy distance out our balcony!
