A couple of anxious moments that were beyond our control:
- the Ethiopian visas did not come through as quickly as expected. In fact, if our good friend Hermann in Ottawa had not gone personally to the embassy to retrieve our passports, we would not have had them in time to travel to Switzerland for Christmas and for Ursula's Dad's birthday.
- Our flight back to Toronto from Switzerland was cancelled and we were stuck in Frankfurt for almost a day and a half, finally arriving back in Toronto near midnight the night before leaving for Cairo.
Final packing was a bit rushed and we certainly didn't do all the housekeeping that we intended before getting on the flight in Toronto on the 6th of January. By the way, anybody contemplating taking an extra bag on a flight from Toronto to Cairo should count on $225 per back for the excess baggage.
