Finally we're on the go!

Good news...Dave was able to get his multi-entry visa today, so we are finally ready to go. We are taking the sleeper train to Aswan tomorrow night. We leave at 9 P.M. from Cairo and arrive in Aswan at 9 A.M. the next morning. We were able to get our reservations tonight to stay at Saint Katherine''s monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai. They were booked through the 29th, so we had to rearrange our schedule but I am thrilled that we will be able to stay there for two nights. We will plan to climb to the top to see the sunrise. We also have a couple of days to stay at the town Dave lives in, and he said he would take me scuba diving. I'm really excited at the thought of that! Jenny is excited because that is when she will lget her camel ride. Because of the delay in getting some of the visa's, the rest of our days are packed pretty full. I'll have to rest up when we get home.

I have heard Dave say that living here is hard, and being here for a week, I begin to see what he means...nothing is easy!! He has said it before, but I really didn't understand it until I experienced it.

He has a saying...Plan A will always fail...PlanB will probably fail and Plan C has a 50/50 chance of failing. Those words ring more true each day I am using someone's laptop, and somehow I have turned the underline on, and don't know how to turn it off. No one is around to help me, so sorry, but it's the best I can do for now.

Don't know when I will get a chance to blog again, but will update you whenI can.

Thanks so much for your prayers...crossing traffic continues to be a challenge, and I am sure I am still alive because of your prayers. You cannot imagine what the traffic is like here!!!

I cannot tell you in words how good it is to be here with Dave. Even the most frustrating day is a good day because we are together. I am amazed how well he speaks the language. He keeps telling me that his language isn't so good but everytime we get in a taxi he carries on a non- stop conversation with the driver. Without him, we would be completely lost. I could not be more proud of him!

We continue to stay healthy, which is definately an answer to prayer. I have walked more this past week than I have in the last 6months.

I'll sign off for now, but I thank each of you who is praying for us. There have been several times lately that I have literally felt the prayers.

Unti lnext time...
