Trip to the middle east part 9

We talk about the steps that we need to do in order to get married before I leave for the states. Just a little over two weeks to do everything. He goes to the government building and checks all the steps. He needs a government identification card that is valid for seven years. This basically means... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 8

Let me back track just a little bit to before I actually left to come to Cairo. We decided that we would meet first to see how we would get along before making any kind of long term commitment. Then as the trip came within days of leaving he decided that yes he wanted but it would be up to me to... Sign in to see full entry.

Bumper Cars in Cairo

Drivers start your engines Pedal to the metal No available lane? Just create a new one! Horn is your turn signal Don't dally crossing the street Taking chances to become roadkill Play chicken to change lanes Break in traffic All race to the next bottleneck Swerving within centimeters Cacophony of...

Trip to the middle east part 7

Thursday is another beautiful day and not quite as hot as it has been. We leave the flat. I need to hold onto the crook of his elbow and always walk on the inside or away from the street. This way if anybody gets hit it will be him. I am constantly changing sides to be away from the traffic and even... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 6

We eat pasta. Mine has four cheese sauce with mushrooms. His pasta has a stew like topping with carrots and green beans. Interesting. I enjoy mine and hope to try some Egyptian food. Dinner is wonderful. We are eating batates. Falafel stuffed in a pita with tahini slaw is my favorite. We also have... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 5

I walk away dismayed since I don't like leaving my passport (even if it is just a copy) with someone and only lingerie to hold me over until God only knows when. I go through the Nothing to Declare line and I am waved through without a second thought. I walk the queue of people waiting on others.... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 4

We board the plane. I have an aisle seat this time. A family comes to sit across the aisle and 2 others have the seats next to me. They don't seem to want to sit there so I offer to move to the window for them to sit together. She thanks me. I just smile and nod my head. The little boy next to me... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 3

My fellow passenger has to let me out to go to the bathroom. There's been quite a line for a while now. I give up waiting for the line to end and just excuse myself. Lord almighty! No toilet paper! I hate that. I dry my hands on my pants and let the next person know there isn't any toilet paper in... Sign in to see full entry.

Journey to You

Texts and calls Miss you Love you Come, I need you I will buy you a ticket Blink... blink Did I read that right? Read again... again Oh my God! Adrenalin soars Heartbeat races So much to do Little time to do it Utter chaos Last minute errands Lists to make Bills to pay Laundry Pack and then unpack... Sign in to see full entry.
