The last day

Last day of my Egyptian vacation. The day was full, full, full.

First, we went to bed late last night, about 2ish. Then, Dad called at 6:00am. Which translates into a very sleepy Sylvia who can't get back to sleep after waking up.

Quiet time, then a quick shopping trip resulted in three hair bands, two watches, and a belt. How can I say no to Egyptian prices ... divided by 5 ?

Did you know they had Pet Stores in Egypt ? I didn't. I love discovering this new to me stuff. And, I miss my cat.

Then, off to see my sister's mother and sister in law. They are such good people. We really did not get the chance to spend any time with them at all. There are always too many people and not enough time in these trips.

Then, we visited with my mother's uncle's wife and their family. It was so nice to catch up with M. By the end though, I was falling asleep. We finally got home, or near home (where the internet cafe is....). I'm trying to stay awake with Turkish coffee - unfortunately a bad turkish coffee.

I honestly think there is no sleep on the horizon for me tonight. Plane leaves at 6:30am, so, we are at the airport at 4:30am. So, we leave home at 3:30am, so I should be up at 3. There are not that many hours between then and now (8:45pm), considering we have some birthdays to celebrate, and last goodbyes....

Vacation from my vacation lasts as long as the plane ride, and I'm back to work on Monday.

For once, I am ready to leave Egypt. It has been a wonderful full trip - I'm tired, I want to go home to my regular hours :D.

Next Stop - Canada 7:30pm.
