Arrived safely in Cairo

Our non-stop Delta flight from New York to Cairo took only about 9 hours and 30 minutes of flying time. Weather here is beautiful. All forty two members of the group are accounted for.
We have checked into our hotel near the airport in Heliopolis. It is almost noon now (seven hours ahead of EST). In a few minutes we will begin some sightseeing, likely visiting Old Cairo this afternoon.
We look forward to sharing more with you in the days to come.
