Airline Adventures 2

Airline Adventures 2
I grabbed a can of almonds and a Coca-Cola Light while waiting at the gate to hold me over. I passed out a few times but never really got any great sleep on account of my iPhone was charging at a station across from where we were sitting and, while there were other members of the group around, it's my responsibility. Security was about the same as America, but I got to leave my shoes on. AND I GOT SCANNED THIS TIME! AND patted down. It was awesome!

I was SO incredibly sleepy that I kept passing out before the plane even taxied out to the runway. Lucky for me this time I had an amazing seat buddy. He informed me of the flight being delayed, he woke me up for snack and drink time, handed me my drinks, took my trash for me, woke me up for dinner, didn't judge when I had NO idea what was going on, checked on me when I zoned out, alerted me to the empty bathroom, grabbed my entering the country passport form thing and has just been good company. I told him that if it hadn't been for him, I prolly would have slept through this entire flight.

Getting our visas stamped was pretty painless - just a long line that moved on Egyptian time (anywhere from 15m-1hr later than planned, i.e. realllllllly slow) but it felt so good to finally be here it didn't matter to me.

Mike got my phone to get a few bars earlier - so there's hope - but for now the bars have gone bye-bye and I'm all alone. I want to Skype with my family and my Jarrod. I'm so happy right now and all I want to do is share that. I can't even post this online yet because I cant remember the trick to signing in on the wifi at the hotel. 

But seriously? I'm in Egypt. I'll get over it!

PS (Prolly shouldn't have taken those naps on the plane. It's 4:23 Egypt time and I'm energized!)
