Frankly, traveling with too much luggage is an encumbrance, so we say forget it! Just leave your bags at Dulles International and go on with a couple of toothbrushes and no change of underwear. We’re roughing it!
Thumbs up for a little shuteye!
Besides that minor issue, we made it to Cairo safely despite the white-knuckle cab ride from the airport and with only a half-hour delay leaving Frankfurt that we may or may not have caused (ok, that we definitely caused). Moral: don’t get too comfy on the amazingly comfy chairs when you board in half an hour and aren’t actually at the gate. A tasty dinner at a seafood café (they fed us “FEEEESH†the kids kept laughing and repeating “FEEEESH!â€) capped off an eventful day.
It’s late now, and time to fall asleep with the incessant honking as a lullaby. We dig into Cairo for real tomorrow!
Ha – Jeff wondered if the pictured chairs were the culprits in your flight fiasco? Possibly – Michelle looks way too comfortable. Looking forward to hearing about your Cairo adventures. And buy yourselves some underpants… Egyptian cotton has been known to be FABULOUS. Cheerio dearios. L.
Wow, that must have been a stressful flight – you lost a *ton* of hair en route, Ryan!
