So - the Egyptian Adventure begins - up, up and away

Friday morning, nice and early, sun not shining but it will be tonight !!

Had a very quiet day on Thursday, caught up with my correspondence, even heard from "Night Owl" in London who seems to have come up trumps, with some more work for me when I get back, but this time in Glasgow - join S B Associates and see the world .

Heading off to Edinburgh Airport soon where we will board a BMI flight to London T1 and meet with William and Sandra at T3. Hopefully we have enough time to use our airport lounge passes and relax for a while !! From there, it is a Star Alliance connection, on to an Egyptair flight to Cairo where we are due to stay till the 2nd before flying down to Luxor to join the "Viking III" boat for a weeks cruise down the River Nile. We believe that the Egyptair flight is alcohol free, with only soft drinks and alcohol free beer supplied - BUT they do allow you to consume your own , so we might be able to pop into the duty free in London - not that we have a problem,

Great excitement when we get back, Mrs. B. will be keen to get to the post where hopefully the arrival of her new "bus pass" will not have been delayed by the actions of the striking postal workers.
As far as the strike goes, I find it very strange - about two weeks ago my friend Declan at the Strand Palace Hotel sent me a letter which has not arrived yet, however, he sent me another on the 26th (during the so called strike) and it was here in a couple of days. BUT - on the other hand one of the so called managers at the City of Edinburgh Council was instructed ten days ago to send us a letter (important) to arrive before the 27th - STILL IN THE POST !!! Allegedly , so we add that to the growing list of "nails in the coffin" - for future.
