Two weeks to go!

Tomorrow will make it two weeks till Egypt, although it is more like two weeks and two days since the time it will take to get there is almost an entire day in itself. Looking at the flight times, it appears that we have a little over an eight hour layover in London....bummer :) Seems to me that it is just enough time to take the tube into city center to check out Big Ben, Parliment (for those of you that are fans of National Lampoons- " Hey Kids, Big Ben...parliment...Hey Kids, Big Ben...parliment) and perhaps grab some fish and chips!

We received all of our travel documents late last week, which is the piece I needed for everything to sink in that we are actually going on this trip! This has been planned for so long and now it is just days away. The travel company provides you with this nice document case where everything is organized. They give you luggage tags so that you can easily be identified as part of the tour group- not that the bright white tennis shoes, fanny pack and camera bags give you away or anything....but the BEST part of our tour documents is the sticker they give you to wear upon arrival to the Cairo airport to identify you as part of the group. So not only are you going to stick out like a sore thumb, now you get to wear this huge annoying sticker that might as well say "kick me" on it!!! Brad is less than excited about the sticker...perhaps cause it is large and tacky, or perhaps because it is pink and purple...you be the judge.
