The Trip Begins

Sherif, Helen, Kenda, Adam and I left Columbia at 1:55 on a small plane to Atlanta. True to form as is the case in most of my travels, crazy things happened. In the airport at the security line, Helen's glasses were broken. Then while we were watching a movie on my laptop at the gate, I spilled coffee all over the keyboard and so it is not working now! Then when we got in the plane in Atlanta to fly to New York, they had to "jump start" one of the engines to get us in the air.

We departed New York about 11:00 p.m. on Friday night and arrived here in Cairo at about 5:00 p.m. (10:00 a.m. your time). One of Sherif's suitcases did not arrive yet. We are relaxing tonight at Sherif's house and the kids are glad to be in their homes. Stay tuned for more postings. The picture is of Sherif and his family deplaning in Cairo.

    I know Sherif and his family are glad to be home! I hope you can avoid any other "crazy things" that may be heading your direction. Be safe. We miss you!

    There is something comforting, always, about returning back home after a trip! Enjoy your time in Egypt! We look forward to your pictures and postings! The kids loved the camel ride from your last trip!

    I'm glad you made it safely Dr. B. What a long trip. I would have never made it once they had to jump start the engine that would have been it for me. Have a great time we miss you.

    Your brave. I would not have gotten on the plane if it had to have a "jump" to start. Be safe.
