Whew--all the bags are packed!!!!

In less than 10 hours from now, John and I will be on our way to Eqypt and Jordan. I seriously can't wait. I think I'm just as excited for the sounds and smells as I am for the visual aspect of this trip. I've heard such interesting things about Egypt--I can't wait to experience it for myself. It's funny that the trip is actually here. I feel like it was just yesterday that I posed about having just bought our tickets. And these trips always give John and I such a great chance to just be together and enjoy each other's company. I feel like I fall in love with him all over again every time we spent a week or two just talking and laughing and experiencing together. Taking trips together is like a sanity saver for me. Plus, I feel like my mind really needs me to take a big trip every once in a while just to step back from my life and put things in perspective. It makes me remember that our lives are just that--lives. And everything about a life is transient and passing. So I plan to look, learn, love, smell, taste, laugh, feel, smile, cry and then laugh some more. I only get one life, and it's going to be too short no matter how long it is, so I plan to make the most of it always. Man. I feel like my body is already on vacation. Happy travels. I'll try to check in from an internet cafe and let you know how things are going.

My Holga (goin' old-school for this trip!) and my husband and I are off to snap some pics of pyramids!
