Cairo airport

October 8th - 11pm
Just went through security which took about 45 minutes. Seriously, I went through several stations. I'm sitting at the gate now and have about an hour before boarding. I hired a driver from the hotel and Ali was awesome. It was like driving with a madman, and he was so nice to talk with. I think he got me here in record time. It's a good thing too because the airport is packed. Anyway, I'll be in New York tomorrow morning, 6:30am. Cool,... I was just getting comfortable with traveling though but I'm happy to get back to the states.

I didn't want to type this when I was at the airport in Cairo because I wanted to get on my flight and I was using the free wifi. I went through two x-ray scans, had two body searches (pat downs), had a 10 minutes conversation about my travel in Egypt at one check point, and then passport control where I answered a few more questions. The process took about an hour and by the time I got to the waiting area I only sat for 15 minutes or so until the bus arrived to take passengers to the plane. It's strange, they don't have skyport type walkways like in the US. You are taken to the plane on the bus and board through either the front or rear doors of the plane by stairs.
