Itinerary In Hand

Oh yeah. I'm goin' to Cairo! The week after I present my Action Research paper, I'm off to reconnect with a place and people who are near and dear to my heart. It is a well-earned graduation gift to myself. It's been too long since I've been connected to that other side of who I am.


I'll be heading over to Om idunnya from March 13-March 21 during my Spring break. Most of my friends are gone during the summer, or I would visit when I had more time to spare. It will be hard to have only 6 full days to spend there with all that I'll want to do and all of the people I'll want to see--but 6 days is better than nothing at all!

Since I have the ticket in hand (and the money out of my bank account :( ), and four offers of friends who I can stay with, I am starting to allow myself to anticipate and open parts of my heart that have been closed off. It feels great to blow the dust off these friendships and anticipate reconnecting with my Cairo friends.

Incidentally, I've been trying to figure out where I stored all my "butt covers*" and long sleeve shirts since my dear husband won't be coming along with me to ward off competing males.

*long shirts covering the buttocks so men are less tempted to grab my butt--why do they do that, by the way??
