Countdown to Egypt

I flew back to Cali on Monday, which should make for a short week. But the week is dragging on forever...maybe that is too dramatic. I have seen a movie, eaten out with friends, taken naps, packed and STILL the week feels like it is crawling by. It is odd. I guess I am just eager to go. I love to be out of the country and it is time! One day the weather condition for Cairo was "sand" - not sure what that will look like in person. Should be fun to meet my fellow travellers. Wondering if the political situation with Israel/ Palestine will have any effect on our travels. Wondering if I will really live overseas one day. Could I teach cross-culturally? Do I really have something to offer as a professor? I realized over the break that every potential of my past has been explored. All that is left to explore is the wide, scary, wonderful future. A year ago I could not have imagined where I would be now. Who knows where next year will lead? I'm hoping to post pics and blurbs from our trip. I appreciate your prayers for our safety.
