Departing tomorrow (Tuesday)!

I'm leaving Minnesota on Tuesday for Egypt!  It still doesn't seem quite real that I'll be spending the coming academic year at the American University in Cairo.  Perhaps when I finally get there after a 19-hour flight, the reality will sink in.  The Arabic Immersion program starts on the 24th, so Claire and I will have a couple days to get settled before moving into the dorms in Zamalek (an island in the middle of the Nile in Cairo).  Once I get oriented, I'll start posting photos, etc!
