Weather is looking good in Cairo. A hot spell in Luxor and Aswan is moderating next Monday for our arrival!

Leslie, that's exactly what happened for us! The extreme heat moderated while we were there; it was so nice.
I hope y'all have the experience that we had, and even more.

Helen - If we have enough time (2 hour layover in CDG)- we will also be in the Air France lounge. Ron and I are both in warm up suits. We leave for the Huntsville airport in 1 hour!

We are in the Lufthansa lounge at Dulles. Pretty nice with the jet bridge running right up to the lobby of the lounge. No mixing with the masses at the gate later. I downloaded Death on the Nile on my kindle, which is fun to read again.
See everyone soon!

We are Admirals club in Boston soooo excited. We printed out Andi's 15-page treatise from the Nile 1 desert mail to review and I downloaded some Egypt history TV shows to my iPhone.

I am so looking forward to YOUR email. If I had the time and money, I would have done this trip again in a minute! I can't wait to relive it again through your eyes. Sooooo jealous. Don't forget to NOT press the wrong button in the public bathrooms. Wouldn't want to see you flood any like I did! Have a fantastic and safe trip!

Now we are in Frankfurt. Our flight got in an hour early due to strong tailwinds, so it was quite a short flight from Dulles. No time to take an ambien so not much sleep at all. Still four hours to kill here before we leave for Cairo. Nice lounge but we are not in the one in the separate building, which I was hoping to see. This one is close to our departure gate so no chauffeured drive to the plane. Oh well.

Our flight to London was fast too! We are having breakfast as a cute cafe waiting for the Victoria and Albert museum to open at 10:00.

Very nice morning at the V&A Museum. We are in the BA lounge (Galleries, I think). Getting so close! We're tired. We did a 1 hr guided tour at the museum that started out very interestinly... the focus was primarily on Coptic Christian pieces from Egypt! Then roamed around on our own.
