Cairo - The Canuck has landed

I'm here. My trip from Calgary to Cairo went off without a hitch. All the flights were on time, I was met at the Cairo airport by someone from the "meet & greet" company that KBR uses, and now I'm in a hotel in Cairo. I'll be here for the night and then picked up in the morning to go the hotel/area near the Red Sea where I'll be spending the next 18 months. Doesn't sound as long when you say 18 months versus a year and a half for some reason.

It's 12:30 in the morning here right now, 3:30pm in Calgary... so I'm going to have a quick shower (21 hours in airports and planes) and hit the hay and hopefully be relatively fresh for the morning here. No good pictures yet because it's dark. hah.

Here's basically what the view would be from my room if it wasn't midnight.
