Just an update: we are making our second of three connections in our 25 hour journey back to Naples, Florida from Cairo. It is Tuesday, and due to time zone changes, it will still be (very) early Wednesday morning when we arrive home (God willing).

We only made it into our airport hotel bed at midnight after a delayed flight from Luxor to Cairo. Then we were up at 3:30 am to return to the airport. After many days of super early starts, exciting excursions in blazing heat, and our various respiratory and digestive challenges, we are sleep deprived and exhausted. But so grateful for our amazing experiences and new friends and looking forward to sharing stories with our family and friends at home.

Talk and see you soon!!!! (After a recovery period of undetermined length…)

PS London Heathrow has made wonderful and huge improvements to their Connecting Flights process since a few years ago. Kudos to them.
