Made it to Miami International Airport with time to spare

Well the scariest part of the trip is over. We made it by Uber from Ft Lauderdale to Miami. Took about 2 hours to go 45 miles. There were no accidents, no construction, and the driver didn't get lost or have any idea what the English Language was for. I've mastered Spanglish in the past 17 years so we got to Terminal H, not 8 as he decided we should have been dropped off there. We are in the Delta Sky Lounge and the cacaphony of languages makes me smile. America is an amazing melting pot, and for the most part we do get along. On our way to Paris then Cairo. I was a bit nervous all morning fidgeting and making piles of stuff I needed to pack. I was so hair-brained that Raphie had to repack my suitcase to get it to close and all the while patting my leg telling me everything would be all right. 300 Muslims were slaughtered last week in Egypt because a group of OTHER Muslims thought they were not observant enough. For years, Egrp ypt has been somewhat a light among nations, but this week it seems like the heavy hand of religious extremism is rearing its ugly head. Considering our last trip to Las Vegas to get away from the hurricanes only put us near the massacre at the Mandalay Bay, I hope this trip is a bit calmer I'm including a pic from a few weeks ago up in Minneapolis making pizza with the grandkids. Last night we had a concert with Al playing Twinkle Twinkly little star on his violin. I played violin for 18 years and if my mother was alive she would have screamed with joy.

Until we get to Cairo I remain open to new and exciting times Nate and Raphie
