If this is any indication of my travels...

Wow, what a whirlwind arrival!  Although I have arrived safe and sound it wasn't without some excitment.  When I arrived at the Calgary airport dutifully 3hrs in advance I learned my flight had been cancelled.  Mechanical problems.  However, I was wisked onto a flight to Vancouver (thanks Kelsey and Kym for running with my bag!) to catch a flight to London from there.  I made that flight by the skin of my teeth too.  From there, I had to run (literally) to catch my flight to Cairo.  It is no wonder my bag did not make it :(  However, in Cairo everyone was very helpful and I am confident I will recieve my backpack soon.  The hostel is decent- I have my own room with a fan which is all I really need.  However, without my hostel sheet and shower sandles it is a precarious situation :)  So although the past 24hrs have been an adventure in themselves, everything has worked out really well.  Will write more soon!
