Change of job

Yesterday I decided to take a big step to reducing my stress while I am at the stadium. I changed back to being a stand attendant. Yes it's a cut in pay and yes not much of a chance of overtime. The great thing is that I no longer have to deal with all the whiners and complainers that don't want to... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt New Beginnings IV

I never ever thought this would happen to me or someone to whom I am married. The Egyptian equivalent of the FBI or CIA was spying on me and my husband! They were in my Facebook account reading everything. They thought I had some kind of political agenda because once upon a time I had Hosni Mubarak... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt New Beginnings III

I will be so glad to be back with him not only in the same time zone (7 hours difference) but in the same city and house. It's been a rough 7 months but soon very soon the separation will be over. We talked about me staying until his visa is final. Hopefully his visa will be ready in less than the... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt New Beginnings II

I have been chatting with the hubby and he has such great news! The flat is on the 14th of 16th floors so we will have a fantastic view from our balcony. Also we are on the last row of buildings so no other building blocks our view. It's 2 bedrooms with one bath. There is a dining room as well. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt New Beginnings I

Well it is official. The money was finally able to be sent and according to their bank it was received by my bank. I am just waiting on it to be credited to my account in the morning. I just spoke with him and he is in Alexandria! He already has our flat picked out. I haven't seen a picture of yet... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt XXXVII final entry for this trip

We eat a new kind of falafel for me. It is filled with spices in the center. We eat it with bread on the train back to Cairo. We arrive late in Cairo. The stewards don’t make the people wait to get on the train until everyone gets off first. We are struggling with our bags and people keep knocking... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt XXXVI

We walk to the train station to buy his ticket to take some of our things back to Cairo. We try to pay for his ticket with a fifty pound note but the clerk doesn’t have change for it. It’s so hard to find change. He walks around to the street vendors to find change. He finally gets change after... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt XXXV

Feb 20 th My dizzy spells continue and seem to be getting worse. We look for a doctor close by but keep getting sent elsewhere. Finally we find a hospital but the doctor won’t be there until 8:30pm that night. It’s a private hospital or otherwise it would be cheaper to see him than the forty pounds...

Egypt XXXIV

Feb 16th There is a bakery nearby us. They have these marvelous looking cakes and tortes. We bought mom’s torte there. I have had my eye on this chocolate cake since we first went there to pick out mom’s torte. They sell it by the piece at San Stefano’s Mall. We each get a slice with frozen...

Egypt XXXIII

We shop at the metro again. This time is cheaper at only forty-seven dollars. We find flour tortillas finally. One day I ask Ahmad if he would like to try enchiladas (tortillas filled with beef, beans etc. topped with sauce and cheese and then put in the oven to melt the cheese). The first time I...
