Getting Ready To Go

Our plane reservations are made and the four of us will be traveling at least part of the way together. Bonnie, Megan, and I will be leaving from Anchorage together and Melanie will be flying from Dubai to Cairo and back with us. Working on getting pictures to submit with the application for the Egyptian visas. My color printer for some reason no longer prints blue so had to go to Costco to get prints. I had the pictures cropped too much so will have to go back and do them over so they can be cut down to 2X2. Sometimes one wonders why they have such requirements for visas. We will be flying on Alaska Airlines and Emirates. The trip from Seattle to Dubai is 14 hours 45 minutes or so, a long time. But at least we don't have to be to the airport in Anchorage until about 9 AM the day we leave instead of taking the usual red-eye flight out. At least that part will be more pleasant. Much more to do in the next two and half months for the trip. Also need to get my retirement papers in order and turned in but that's another story for another day.
