Sadly the trip to Egypt is on hold until the Muslim political situation calms down. Even though I received word from the Egyptian consulate that everything is fine there, the news is telling me the opposite. All the furor over the cartoon of Mohamed in a Danish newspaper seems to be escalating. I think Sue's advice to wait 6 months is sound. Thanks to all who helped me research this!!
In the meantime, I'll be hiding out on Valentine's Day to stay away from all of the reminders that I don't have a valentine. It's a tough holiday for single folks. For those of you who are coupled - enjoy! Eat lots of chocolate. It's wonderful that scientists are finally acknowledging that chocolate is good for you.
See you next trip. Marion aka RamblinMe
