I made it! I crossed the ocean!

OK so i left Regina at 11:20 on sunday morning...good grief i was rather tired that morning from visitng and trying to get everything done so it was so nice to just sit on the plane. I was set off by my family and friends. it was hard to say goodbye but knowing my destination i was excited! I got to toronto and oh good grief i had to change termnals!!! I come from Regina!! there is only one building one terminal!!! lol What a funny time. I felt like i was 13 years old and so small and so intimidating trying to find my way in the airport. I got to the other terminal through walking boarding a train and finally arroved at my gate to wait four hours for my plane to leave!! But i was not leaving the gate to get lost!! Met matt the other onsite team member who was going as well. my flight to london was 7 hours BUT!! i was aile (sp??) seat and the nexxt two seats beside me there was no one in it..oh so nice not having to move! Then we arrived in London heathrow and entertained our selves for 9 hours with cards, my book, and 10 dollar ameracan cofee!!! Unreal matt had to pay 10 american for his coffee!! I paid 6 for mine haha. so expensive though!! Anywho we boarded our last flight to cairo and got in at 12:30. Temperature when we landed was 29 C oh good grief lol hot!!! So we got throught no problem were picked up by friends and then got to our place we are staying at. Finally got to sleep at 3:00 and kept waking up and walking to then end of my bed then giving myself and shake and telling myself to get back to bed! Ah jetlag and lack of sleep! Today we got some money stuff worked out and i got my cell phone while i will be here. This still feels so sureal but i am here! So exited about what is to come they said a boat on the nile so pumped! anyway i will upload pictures when i can but for now you will just read my words and imagine it =) I feel fine and fell like i am adjusting pretty good with the time. i din't eat very much on my way here ( haha sorry jeanetter :) i tried! ) Been drinking lots of water though! Its hot here haha and i love the fan in my room above my bed and the air conditioner on the wall!! I am well i hope to get a big email sent out but till then this will have to suffice. I feel sticky and hot but hopefully i will adjust quickly to the weather. By for now =)
