Here and all sandy......

Wow, so I am in Afrika. SubhanAllah.

It feels like four million days here.

I love it here. Alhamdulillah.

The people are OVERLY friendly. I get free rides from muhajjabas and have so far paid only a few dimes for transportation.

I finally tried 'koshari' that everyone was talking about, absolutely love it.

I haven't really ventured out there yet... But will soon inshaAllah.

Preparing for the Journey

{ at home }





My arms are throbbing with pain from the four vaccines I received today.

Yes, ''ouch'' is the right word for it.

I have mixed feelings as I am getting ready for my trip to Cairo inshaAllah, but I'd say I am more nervous than excited.

I feel like a child the night before they embark on the journey of kindergarten, tossing and turning in their little bed, their mind totally absorbed with all the different emotions, wondering if the kids at school would like them, or if they will be brave enough to ask the teacher to use the restroom...






Only my bed is bigger now and I am not a child.

I have already googled all the accidents the aircraft has been invloved in. Let's just say there are too many to list... :-X

So yes, I am more nervous than excited.

But this is what I hope to look back at and say, "Haha, why on earth was I so nervous??"

(yes, I know, the risk of getting into a car accident is much higher than an airplane, but still...)
