HUG &Trip to Egypt 29 May 2005

Sunday May 29, 2005

This morning I woke up about 8:30 am and went down for breakfast. Folowing breakfast I finished getting ready for the day and compleating my packing for our trip to Egypt. We then all met down in the family room area for church service at 10:00.

Our church service today started out with spontanous singing for first 15 min and then we protake of the Lords Supper. Dr. Baird sed a few words about Jesus life. He looked in to some scripture about the last things that Jesus sed on the cross and thoes that were with him as he dided. The idea that Jesus is 100% human and 100% Devine Sperit. We then had some more singing lead by Bruce McLarty of some last verces of comunion songs.

After worship service we had Ice Creem cake for Brad and his Wife Kate. Today is there first weding anivercery and is also Kate’s Birthday. After celeberating with them for a breaf period it was back to doing final packing and shuting down of computers in lab befor departing to the Athans Air Port for Egypt. I went to the Hambeger joint next store and had a berger and frise befor departing. We left our home in Port Rafti at 12:00 pm for the air port.

Everthing went extermly smooth going throu security etc. We went throu as a group and was like clock work. Aristotal Travel, wich does all of our arangments for our travles wacked us throu, and also provided our bus to the air port. We had a short wate after going throu securty and then our plain departed at 2:35 for Egypt.

Our flight was a littler more turbulence than the others and when ariving in Ciro, Egypt we had to delay our landing dew to hevey air trafic. During this time we had a few climes and quick dropes in altitude that causd some stumicks to drop like on a rolocoster. I had the Beef and role on the plain for lunch / early dinner.

Once ariving in Ciro, Egypt we went right throu customes dew to our wonderful frends here that will be our tour guide and driver during the trip. Osman met us at the air port terminal. Sence it was such a late arival we took a little time to do some touring of the city befor heading to our Hotell. We had armed gard on the bus with us wich will be the case as long as we are here in Ciro, and we also had a military escort in the car. There is much greater security here than any other place that I have bean but this is probly a good thing. Every where we go the area is secured and we have people guiding the way to ensure our safty.

Once we arived at the Hotell we went in and got our room keys. Folowing that we taged our luge for the butlers to bring up to our room. We then had about 1 and 1/2 howers befor supper at 7:30 pm. I took some time and went exploring of the hotell. There are plagrounds, out side restronts, tince clay tence courts and much much more here. It is porbly one of the nices Hotells that I have stayed at.

We have a guest that is going to be travling with us this week. He is from the US and also attneded harding a few years ago. He played on the Harding Basket Ball team. He is visting this area and was able to meet up with the group to explor Egypt with us.

Back to the Hotell now. Tonight we had an exclent dinner. There was a bufay that we at at wich was loaded with wonderful pictued displays of food, bread, etc. It was wonderful. Folowing dinner I went up and wached 2 epesodes on DVD of Star Trec the Next Generation from season 6. Then it is off to bead at 10:30. Wake up call tomaor is at 4:00 am and we depart at 5:00 am. It is going to be an early morning but Osmen sead that usualy have to get up at 2:00 so we are blessed. Tomaro we will fly to sothern Egypt where we will start our touing and ceach the Cruse boat that will bring us down the Nile River. Shoud be great fun!! Can’t Wate!
