On the road again . . .

I leave Tuesday, Oct. 30th with a destination of Amman, Jordan. I fly from Orlando to Memphis then Amsterdam and on to Amman. I am meeting Lynda, the girl I went gorilla tracking with in Uganda. We are going to do Petra and hopefully Wadi Rum (desert area) then will pick up a guide to take us into Syria. Lynda will return to the states the night of Nov. 13th. I will be on my own until Sunday, Nov 18th when I will meet a group in Cairo. I had planned to spend those free days in Jerusalem but now I'm not sure because I am having a terrible time trying to get a flight from Jerusalem to Cairo. I don't want to take a bus just because it takes about 15 hours and that would be all day. I have been trying to get into the El Al website but it has been down for hours. Oh well, I'll figure something out. I guess my next post will be from Jordan!
