Moving On

August 24th, 2008 — 3:52pm

Dear Diary,

I’ve been trying to tell you about recent updates for a couple of days now but I always, as usual, lost interest half way through. Anyway, there’s too much to not tell and I need to document certain things for later reference.

I don’t really like complications. I’d prefer one plane straight to Cairo and that’s that. Boarding in one plane for 30ish minutes, waiting for 3 hours in a lobby (2 down, 1 to go; as of 10:30 a.m.), then boarding in another plane for around two more hours isn’t just convenient for me.
