1. I was flagged by THE AIRLINE, i.e. American out of St. Louis for extra security screening once I told them I was going to Cairo. They didn’t even bother to say it was random.
2. Lufthansa is a fantastic airline. I expected decent care, but even in coach, the free stuff and excellent service was flowing like champagne on New Year’s. As was free alcohol in general.
3. Speaking of which, I consumed my first legal drink somewhere over Canada, a sparkling wine. God Love the Germans. My German neighbors on the plane were mocking we sparkling-wine orderers, saying “That’s not a drink, that’s a feeling.” They're probably right.
4. No members of Notre Dame Team Kairo were lost in the process, at least not permanently. The members are as follows: From the left: John Busch's hair, Glen (background, standing), Jules, Courtney and Megan. And Kairo is from German spelling. Better pictures later.
5. All my baggage arrived largely unscathed. My luggage is fantastically visible from a thousand miles away. And customs was easy, although hauling the luggage thereafter not so much.
