Cairo - December, 2009

December 21 - while Adam and Natalie and Blake and Janelle were off doing their sightseeing marathon, we got in some gym time and some R&R. Later in the afternoon we met the kids at the Khan and showed them some of Dale's bargaining prowess, as he bartered for some scarves for the ladies. Back to the JW for a quiet evening.

December 22 - a great day for golf. Janelle walked with us as Blake, Dale and I managed to hit a few golf balls around the course. Adam and Natalie came out and walked the last couple of holes with us and then joined us for lunch. We met up again with them in the lounge where all three plane crews were hanging out. The party was well on its way with Mel and Nikki mixing drinks for David, Robin, Rod and Yves. We squeezed in enough chairs for the eleven of us, and joined in the merriment after which we left them for a quiet dinner with the kids.

December 23 - Natalie was up early for her flight back to England to spend Christmas with her Grampa. We were sorry to see her go, and were even hoping that will all the snow storms in the UK that her flight would be postponed for a day or two - but no luck. We finally buckled down and answered a few emails and got caught up with things. In the evening we went out with Blake and Janelle to catch the famous Giza Pyramid Sound & Light Show. Seems like we spent a bit of time in the 60's with the entertainment - but the venue was awesome!


December 24 - the boys had a flight out to El Gouna, so we met Janelle in the lounge for lunch after a lovely game of golf. Hard to see it as reality when one is golfing on Christmas Eve day. We again met up with all the crews in the lounge before heading down to the very festive buffet downstairs. It was great fun, with the girls bringing out all sorts of Christmas hats for some very goofy photos.


December 25 - Merry Christmas. We were not moving at top speed this morning, so decided to take it easy before heading back to Cyprus. We met Adam for breakfast then took our time packing up. Definitely a slow day.

December 26 - Back in Cyprus for one day of mega loads of laundry and catching up on the computer. Dale is off to work tomorrow, so will fill you in on all that later.

Take care, and hope you're not exhausted after reading about our hectic adventures.
Merry Christmas and lots of love,
Laurel and Dale
