Egypt Day One- The Pyramids

Day One : The Pyramids at Giza. Well as you can probably imagine, waking up in such a foreign land was a wee bit daunting for someone like me, however I was up for the task. But first let me tell you how we arrived in this foreign land! My flight from San Diego to Chicago was a challenge for me.... I wound up in a middle seat next to some chick who decided to continue texting until we were literally hurtling towards takeoff , those who know me, know how much this would annoy me :o) But then I met up with Louise in Chicago and the adventure started! Packed flight to Amman due to half the world being rerouted because of the volcano. An Ambien and 12 hours later and here we are. We had to change Dollars to Dinars, Buy a Visa, Stand in line to have one guy stick the Visa in the passport, and stand in another line the make that guy did it right , and then walk through the customs line! Sounds quick. huh? After this we have to find transportation, and this is where we meet our new friend Muhammad, I know, you thought his name would be Bob. So we strike up a deal with this taxi company to take us to our hotel. by the time were ready to leave we've change drivers twice. the last time is this suave 60ish gentleman who says he's the owner of the company, and to follow him. Well Louise and I get a little suspicious when we follow him into the parking lot. Long story.... He checked out, and became our personal driver and guide today and the rest of the time were in Cairo..

So Muhammed picks us up today to go to the Pyramids, to ride a camel and to go the the Egyptian National Museum. So we decide to ride camels for 3 hours around all of the pyramids.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!
