And we made it home safely. _Long_ flight, and I was exhausted by the time I made it to Seattle - slept most of the drive home lying down in my parents' backseat (aren't they amazing for driving three hours to drop me off and pick me up?!) - but I wasn't nauseous, and for me, that's saying a lot. I guess maybe you can get used to travel

Welcome back and happy new year! ♥

It's weird - whenever I finish a vacation, I'm always _so_ glad to be home. By the time the ten days or two weeks or whatever is up, I'm definitely ready to come home. This time? Not so much.

I think that means you're meant to go again.

Happy New Year to you too! How are you?

I'd like to. My uncle has the apartment until August, but he's planning on coming home in June ... I'm actually tempted to try and save enough to go out again over the summer. Except ... well, Egypt in the winter was warm at times. Egypt in the summer? I don't always handle the heat well. (Better now that I've lost weight, though, so it is still a possibility.)

I really did love it there.

Now I'm having visions of Ye Olde Fangirles Home, Egypt Style. ;p Gosh, I really hope you get to go back. It's such an unsettling world we live in, so when someone finds a place where they feel a good fit, I think it's remarkable and wonderful. <3

I'm...trying to be upbeat and positive about things! Eep eep!

If I go, you and anyone else who can make it up are certainly welcome to come! My uncle is unlikely to mind, as he won't be there himself. Wouldn't that be cool? *grin*

*hugs* I hope this year turns out wonderfully for you.

yay! welcome home to the snow! are you loving it? lol.

you know what's funny about your luggage situation? my friend went to dubai last year, and they lost her luggage both ways too. she was also flying out from seattle. how mysterious. i mean, technically it wasn't lost as she got it back... but yeah. it went around the world without her, apparently. ^O^;;

Sami, it is snowing. AGAIN. It's barely stopped since I got home, it feels like! ... okay, so that's an exaggeration.

What's not an exaggeration is that PART OF MY PARENT'S ROOF FELL OFF from the snow over Christmas. Honestly ... what is _happening_ here?! *g*

The luggage thing is definitely annoying. I'm just glad I didn't need any of those clothes for work tomorrow - the shirts are too cool (particularly given Vancouver's current weather!) and the pants were really a little too big for me - that's why I brought them, so they'd be appropriately loose-fitting for the culture.

I always felt that way after my trips to Japan (all two of them). I still have very powerful moments of missing Tokyo. Sigh.

*hugs* One of the great things about travelling to Egypt now is that I feel less insecure about travelling other places ... like Japan. :)

Welcome back, I'm glad you made it safely. That is really cool that your vacation is something that can be worked into what is being taught. Here's to hoping you get your luggage back.

Thank you! My vice-principal teaches one of the grade seven classes, and told me before I left that he was going to arrange for me to be interviewed by his class when I get back. That's one reason I want to try and make this video. (The other, of course, being that _I_ want it as well, and I want to be able to show people the places I saw, because it was _so_ incredible.)

[lil_1337]

That sounds like a cool idea, both for the kids and as a memento. Good luck with the video.

glad you made it home safe... same can not be said about that bag.. hope it arrives soon.

[dysis]

Yeah - it got here tonight. Yes, just now (that being why I'm up at this ungodly hour of the ... morning). *wry look* Ah well, everything appears to be there, which is good - and I'm glad to have my scarves!! :)
