Reporting live from Cairo, Egypt

CAIRO, Egypt: My journies have begun. For some reason borrowing my cousin's laptop to type my blog makes it seem impersonal. Like I'm out of place. As if being in a foreign country doesn't do that enough.
Well here goes on the travelling recap. I was set to leave Thursday from Kansas City to Minnessota to Amsterdam to Cairo. The plan was to spend a day in Amsterdam to do the Netherlandanese thing. I was supposed to be in Cairo Friday night / Saturday morning (2am)... instead I wasn't here till Tuesday night. Minnessotta had rain and apparantly planes can't go through rain like cars do. So we missed the flight to Amsterdam and slept on the floor in Minnessota. And got rerouted to Paris. And, well, it stunk. Literally.
But for real. I am not disheartened. I am so happy I got here in one piece, and when they lost my luggage they found it the next day. And my cat successfully made the 3-day treck here and will stay with me forever so long as I can find a grocery store that has cat food and she will figure out that Egyptian sand is just as good as the store-bought kitty litter.
I intend to keep this as a way to share some short stories and keep you updated on my quest to do whatever it is I am doing. I won't be twittering as often as planned because apparantly you can't e-mail from phones here. As soon as I figure out a fix, you will know.
Oh and in other news, Cairo won today. One step closer to the World Cup.
Over and Out.
