Soon it’s time to fly.
To Egypt of course.
As you may know, I will go to Egypt this summer again. Many people asking me if I not got bored to go every year to Egypt.
Actually… not. Every year is different. Like last year my cousin wedding, get new furniture and so on. And then the important thing – the family. Can’t wait to see them again. I miss them. So I like to go there.
But, I’m starting to hate this travelling work before you actual travel. Like cleaning the garden, order the stuff you need for the trip, eat the food we have (and that’s a lot!), cleaning the house and so on. When you leave your home for 5 weeks you have to do a lot. And I’m starting to hate that and get lazy to go to Egypt. But when you in the plane to Egypt, you forget everything and will be happy to see your beloved family (sometimes head desk too).
Let’s talk about the actual flight. It will be two.
The first one is from Stuttgart airport to Frankfurt a/M airport in Sunday evening, 1. August. It’s normal for us to change to plane because there aren’t any direct flights from Stuttgart to Egypt. So we got used to it over the years.
At Frankfurt, we have around 2 hours to wait for the next plane. Better then the last few years. We traveled with Swiss and had to change in Zurich. We had only about 45 min. And you have to walk a lot and even go to another Terminal. We almost missed the plane last year! But this time we don’t fly with Swiss.
And after those two hours of waiting we will be in the last plane to Egypt. We will fly trough the night. I had one time a night flight, but that was back when I was a child. I hope I can get some sleep there. With my headphones and my MP3 player shouldn’t be a problem.
But every time you are going to sleep, the food comes. I HATE that. The food is good. But I prefer to sleep now. And later I can’t sleep again. I don’t know why. I’m just awake. Sometimes watching the flights movie, playing the on board games or just continue listen to my music.
Over the years it’s gotten comfortable to watch something in the plane. Everyone have a little LCD TV in his seat and a controle to select a movie or play games. Good for people who gets easly bored and don’t feeling ill or are frightend of flights.
For myself I’m not afraid. But I don’t like being in high places. But I can look outside the window without any problems. Strange how I am…
After 3-4 hour long flight we will land in Cairo, Egypt. In the very morning. Then we will grab a taxi and go to our home.
There we have to clean too. My mom was there from a couple of months, but still it needs to be cleaned again.
So, that will be my flight day/night.
When we are there I may have Internet in a few days. It’s planned that we have at the 3rd of August internet, but every year our normal telephone line got stollen. Nothing to worry about since we don’t pay for their calls. Only they are just take our line. I don’t know why…
That’s all for now. I may come up with a next blog entry.
