Home again, home again....

 After a 28 hour day of flying from Cairo to Heathrow to Chicago to Fort Wayne we arrived home at 12:10am this morning. It is great to be home but we did have a wonderful trip.  

Visiting Egypt was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Viking is definitely the way to travel.  Over the next week I will share some of our favorite experiences, not necessarily in chronological order.

First, the balloon ride: we had to be up and out by 4:00am for this excursion. Let me mention here that a tour of Egypt is not for wimps.  Lots and lots of historic temples and tombs reached by long walks in hot weather, but we did it!

One of the balloons nearest to ours. Each balloon carried 28 people and there were at least 50 launched that morning.
