Home sweet home

Well we made it back, but it wasn't easy. Egyptair in Larnaca, Cyprus interpreted the US COVID requirements incorrectly making us take a last minute rapid test at the airport (we already had a PCR test the day prior) causing us to almost miss our flight. This was our sixth test for the three weeks of travel. After a three-hour layover in Cairo, we were finally on our way to DC. The flight was long (11+ hrs) , kids crying, crowded and the staff made no effort to clean bathrooms. To top it off I had a horrific headache, so needless to say I was so happy to get home. Would I do it again? Yes, but only after a long break to recuperate. COVID and staff shortages have definitely made things more difficult. For now, I relish in the memories of an amazing trip. Thanks to Paul for being such a great travel companion.
