Joci and I got into Cairo on the overnight train at 5:30 this morning, and instead of trekking around Cairo with all our stuff until our 5:00 flight, we decided we would try to catch an early morning flight. Unfortunately, Egypt Air doesn't offer standby tickets, though, and in order to confirm our seats we would have had to pay another €50. So, deciding money was more important than our time, we opted to hang out at the airport all afternoon, a surprisingly fun experience. We found a spot for breakfast in the morning and were offered free coffee and use of the restaurant booths for napping by the manager, both of which we took full advantage of. So, ten hours and about five cups of coffee later, we are on our way to Istanbul! I can't wait!
Oh, and Joci and I were far from careful about what we ate this trip but didn't get sick once while we were here - I don't really know why, but I'm kind of proud of that.
