Egypt here we come

This will just be short post to let everyone know that on Monday this week we finally received approval for our trip...so then the flights had to be booked, double checked our hotel reservations and then pack!!!  We are all very excited.  It will be exactly 4 months since we have seen Don, other than on the computer!!  We leave at 11:15 p.m. today (Saturday) and with the time change and lay over for a few hours in London...we will get to Cairo at 12:40 a.m. on Sunday.  I think our bodies and minds will be a little messed up when we get there!!!!
 
I am looking forward to some rest....and having someone else there to answer the million and one questions from the kids!!!
 
The other news is that I was successful in getting the job.  I am very happy...I really enjoy this new position....however I loss my summer lay off...which is a bummer!!!!  That was nice...especially when the kids were younger...now that they are a bit older it is actually pretty good timing.  This will be my first summer to work in 6 years...I am struggling a bit with that!!!  I kind of liked collecting pogey!!
 
Well, off to get all those last minute things done before we leave....
 
When we return I will post things and 'attempt' to put pictures on......
 
Talk soon,
Sheryl, Donald and Molly

  1. Hey Sheryl, Don, Molly & Don - wishing you all the best on your trip. Can't wait to see some pics and stories. A small tip on travelling internationally with kids - as the old saying goes, "eat like a local" quite literally will save you cash. Anything Western is very expensive and usually pretty bad. Also allow lots of time to eat as deciphering menus is a timely exercise. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
