Cairo
Pyramids: 6 (3 at Giza, 2 at Dashur, 1 at Sadaqqua - Only saw the interiors of 2, though)
Hotel Upgrades: 2 (One suite with Jacuzzi bath, one loft with 2 bathrooms and balcony)
Swimming Pools: 2 (Perfect temperatures, and lots of time for relaxing)
Belly Dancers: 1 (On a river cruise which included other traditional entertainers)
Fantastic Meals: 5 (Roast Chicken and Flatbread! Ice Cream! Japanese food!)
High Speed Internet: Approximately 30 minutes (Effective minutes, about 5)
So, the Egypt trip was great aside from the massive fail of getting high speed internet access, the attempt for which took about 3-4 hours and resulted in perhaps 30 minutes online, but with the signal dropping often enough that I couldn't manage to download a thing, including the update for my antivirus, which was *extremely frustrating.* So, no film trailers viewed or anything - I guess I've got to wait until I visit England in August. But otherwise, I had a really nice time, and enjoyed the experience, so it made for a nice break. Since returning, though, I managed to fall prey to a bad bout of chronic digestive upset, and have finally given in and scheduled a clinic visit. Until then, I think I have to take it easy. Hope everyone is well.
