On My Way to Egypt!

Tomorrow I will be on a plane headed to Egypt! I'm so excited that I can barely breathe. I'm actually having chest pains.

Anyway, my suitcase is mostly packed... except for the being packed part. Everything I'm taking is piled around and on top of my suitcase. I'm fairly certain everything will fit, I'll make it fit anyway.

So.. the plan is to fly into Cairo, where the divalicious Miss Jaimee will meet K-Dog and I at the airport. We'll arrive around lunchtime, so that will be the first order of business. Then it's off to Giza to see the Pyramids. We are taking no chances, even if I'm sick for the rest of the trip, or if terrorism ensues.. we are seeing those damn Pyramids!! We'll probably take it easy that night since the next morning we'll be getting on another plane, this one to the Nubian village of Aswan (in southern Egpyt). We'll have two glorious days and nights in hot sunny Aswan, enjoying the Nile and maybe taking a felucca ride... then we'll hop a quick train to Luxor and spend two days and one night there checking out the temples and the Valley of the Kings. Sometime in our last couple of days we're going to make an afternoon out of the Khan El Khalili market, where I am supposed to buy a lot of people a lot of jewelry (I hope it's pretty!), and maybe even a quick day trip to Alexandria (I hope). It's going to be a busy week.

By the time it's over I'm going to be exhausted, broke, hopefully not too sunburned, and absolutely dying to see Leo. This is going to be the longest we've been apart in two years, and I know I'm going to miss him terribly. At least I'll have something wonderful to look forward to when I come home....

Ma'as salaama,
Angela
