In the Great Desert – Day 01

Well, first of all, I had been thinking about going to Egypt–one of my dream destination–for a long while but never really made it happened until now.  I was very much looking forward to it.
It was Friday March 13, 2009–the day that I would fly to Cairo with my sister and her husband.  This trip would take about 7-8 days.  Initially, we were planning to go to Japan but with the same amount of budget we finally changed our mind to Egypt.
My Friday was very busy with the work at the office.  (Actually, I had been busy the whole week preparing the work while I was away.)   I worked until about 6:00 pm. and hurried back home to pack.   My flight was about midnight with Egypt Air.
Well, even though I felt a bit pressure on time but I did not to worry about other stuff i.e. accommodation, transportation, etc. because I would go with a tour.   At first, we almost had to travel alone by ourselves and met the Egyptian local guide when we reached Cairo.  (If that was the case, we would not have known how things were going to be.)   But later on, the group members were added and finally everything was arranged throught the tour agency.  That’s why I was not so frustrated.
Arriving at the Suvarnabhumi right on time to meet the tour group.  The flight was around midnight so after getting done with all the documents, we went for shopping a bit; then headed for the gate.
When we reached the security check point, the line was very long (and it’s longer than we thought).   What else could we do, except wait.  Passengers were all complaining and the final calls were announced for many flights.   Well, there were only about 3-4 security check points on the concourse.  Umm…I really did not know what to say.
Well, now it’s time to fly.  Hope it would be a pleasant flight.
