I am facing a big birthday, the big six-oh and I had spent the better part of nine months deciding what I might like to do to celebrate it. I really could not decide and so Paul took matters into his own hands and made arrangements for a trip to Egypt. I have long wanted to visit the sites of ancient Egypt and so this is a bucket-list trip for me. Paul added to the overall surprise by arranging for our girls to come with us and it came together like magic. So...here we are in Cairo at a hotel 2 minutes away from the pyramids at Giza! We arrived late after a grueling 17 hours of travel and are looking forward to our first day of touring tomorrow. We will be visiting the pyramids and it promises to be an exciting day! We are on a tour with 6 other people so it is a very different type of travel for us as we usually travel more independently. We are on an organized tour though because we have limits on our time as we had to fit this trip into both our crazy lives and our daughters' work schedules. We will be touring for the next 10 days and it looks like it will be action packed. Tomorrow we are starting at 0730 for a day filled with wonders of the ancient world!
Katie tried a new kind of pillow for sleeping on the plane.
