It is hard to believe that there is less than one week until we leave for Egypt. We have a nonstop flight from Phoenix to London that is 11 hours long. Eleven hours! The only saving grace is that is begins at 7:30 pm, Ellie's approximate bedtime. We are hoping really hard that she will sleep through most of it. She couldn't last 10 minutes through Jason's sister's graduation; I doubt she would be much fun for that long in such closed quarters. The second flight from London to Cairo seems short in comparison, but it is still five hours. I'm thinking that would be a good naptime. Let's see if Ellie agrees.
So, we found out that we have to be at an in-country orientation for the Fulbright that is September 3-7th. We'll have a little less than a month in between Egypt and Jordan to visit friends and family. The only thing is that Jason's classes in Jordan don't start until the middle of October, so we will have over a month there with no plans. Travel, maybe? I'm not sure what countries we can get into, but there are some really interesting ones around that area.
Jason's Gram is going to be visiting us in Cairo the end of June. We are SO EXCITED about that, so I wanted to open up the invitation to all. If anyone has ever wanted to visit Cairo or Amman, Jordan, now would be a good time to come. You'd have a place to stay and an Arabic-speaking tour guide!

I just broached the subject of traveling to Jordan with Kevin the other night and he's "intrigued" by the idea. We're thinking around the holidays or spring break...
That's so cool you'll be back in Egypt real soon! Will you still be there the end of July? I'll be heading back to America and perhaps I can look at stopping by on my way home. What do you think about that? I miss you all.
