Departure Countdown

The facts are we leave for Cairo, via Amsterdam in just 2 days. We will be leaving MN on Tues. May 1 at 9:25pm. We will have an 8 hour stay in Amsterdam before heading for Cairo--for this amazing adventure our daughter has created for us. The truth is neither one of us ever had Egypt in our travel future--ever--but thank goodness life supplies surprises, so here we go.

The trip preparation has been both exhilirating and exhausting, but now--Mike said yesterday--"I just want to get there." Karen's biggest concern is, "will she have the right things to wear?", Mike's is, "will I have enough immodium?"

Many family, friends and co-workers at Parkshore and EagleCrest have been anticipating this trip along with us, so we will attempt to share our adventures through this blog. Hope you enjoy it, and we'll do our best to keep you informed.

Hi Mike (Karen too)

Hope you got all your paper work done before you left--they do have FedEx in Egypt, so if you forgot we could send them to you.

I will watch you progress on this blog.

Be safe!
