WE LEAVE FOR EGYPT TOMORROW.

Miriam's room has been re-christened as Egypt. Anything we're taking to Alexandria goes in her room so we can keep everything straight. Thus it is that we're walking around the house saying things like, "What about the Camelbak?" "Oh, I just put it in Egypt."

Things might go dark for a while on this blog, but I'll resurface as soon as possible. If I make it to the other side of 24 hours of trans-inter-multi-continental travel with children in one piece, that is. Let's hope I do!
