Leaving the computer in left luggage

And it's not Photoshopped!
Conference work (and fun) for me is almost done. Two workshops and a keynote with an afternoon trip to the Pyramids of Giza, a trip to the Egyptian Museum, and a felucca dinner cruise over the past two days has left me ready for a few days of R&R. Tonight is the "Gallabya Party" for the conference. (We are suppose to bring a camera and money, but my dress-like garment does not include pockets. What's a psuedo-Egyptain to do?
Tomorrow's flight to Luxor to get on the cruise ship leaves at 5:20 am. On board for four nights and back to Cairo next Sunday. I am NOT taking my laptop.
I'll check in with the rest of the world in a week or so.

Have fun!! If you haven't already read any of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries, I recommend them when you get home!
Your Ole & Swn jokes have really paid off over the years! What an exciting trip! I'm envious--never been to Egypt.
Excellent picture! And it looks like you're having an excellent trip. Enjoy the remainer of your time in Egypt and be sure to share the experience after you return and rest up a little.
I love this photo! How was the cruise? Have you recovered from jet lag yet? I really enjoyed your keynote and research session, but what I enjoyed most was being able to hang out with you on Saturday night!
Hi Libby,
I did read Gedge's Child of the Morning before coming to Egypt and have some Wilber Smith books yet to read!

Linda,
Yes, Ole and Swen have been good to me!

Ann,
It was a pleasure meeting you and your family in Cairo. My jet lag is about gone. Stayed up until nearly 9PM last night - my regular bedtime.
All the best,
Doug
