Farewell to Egypt, by Don Hogle
Today is our last day together as a group. We'll return to Cairo by bus and have a final dinner together at our hotel in Heliopolis, a well-heeled part of Cairo closer to the airport. Three will leave tonight; two in the wee hours of the morning. And I’ll see the rest off tomorrow after 7 a.m.

Pyramids, Patience and Planes
... We packed our bags and headed out to breakfast. I hadn’t had the best nights sleep because I was worrying about getting a bad group but as I walked into reception there was a spark of hope. A group of younger looking people sitting around a table…my group…yahhh! 11 people in the group, Me, Juliette, the couple and dad. The other 6 included two other couples – one from Calgary, Canada in their early 30’s and another England in their early ...
