We decided to to something different for Christmas vacation this year. So we headed off to Egypt. To get there from China, our flight left at 6 am from Shanghai and connected through Dubai. The flight took 10 1/2 hours due to unfavorable winds. Combined with a couple hour layover in Dubai and 3 1/2 hour flight to Cairo, it was a long travel day. We arrived at 5:30 pm in Egypt (6 hours behind Shanghai’s time zone) safe and sound. Tomorrow we head to the pyramids!
