Egypt, here we come

All packed and ready to go!

I’ll be leaving my cell phone off most of the time, so if there are pressing issues, then you can try your luck calling/texting me (it’s on auto-roam last time I checked). But but don’t expect an answer. If it’s a business concern, then the people involved can take a hike… at least for the next two weeks 🙂

I’ll try accessing my email as regularly as possible, so you can try mailing your concerns there too.

We heard there was a bombing in Cairo, four tourists dead. Its one of the places we’re going to. We are aware of the dangers and are still going through with the trip. You may pray that our trip be safe if you feel like it… but as we all say here: If it’s your time, it’s your time.

We are about to embark on a pilgrimage that will follow the Old Testament’s Exodus account, and Jesus’ Ministry in the New Testament. That’s practically as holy a place a “holy place” can get. And considering the “dangers” we’ve been hearing lately, I guess it’s fitting to assume that we are leaving our fates to God’s will.

If all goes well, we should return to normal programming in two weeks… If not, then I’d just like to give my last shout-outs to the people I care about. You know who you guys are. Any regrets I’ll have should we meet our demise? I’ll find out then… but off the top of my head, I should’ve asked for that damn hug hehehehe.

In any case: We’ll see you soon 🙂
