Tomorrow we leave for our 7 day trip to Egypt. We must leave early and drag our suitcases about a mile to where we will catch the tour bus at 7am. The trip to Cairo will be by bus, long day. Normally the student study tours stay in 3 star hotels (OK, all of you who have stayed in a 3 star hotel in Egypt can stop snickering now), but because of the down turn in tourism, we will be able to up grade to 4 and 5 star hotels. I told Doctor Wright that I'll take all the stars I can get. Traveling between Cairo and Luxor will be on sleeper trains, this experience should be a story in its self. Today is laundry and packing for Cairo day.
