I officially departed from SFO on Wednesday, Aug 25th. 5 hour flight to JFK airport in NY. 3 hour layover and then with a 12 hour flight to Cairo. This was my first time leaving the country in my memory so the plane ride alone was extremely exciting and surreal. Here are a few pix I took in amazement from departure to arrival.

| Italy? Lol |

| Clouds... Simply beautiful! |

| Cairo. My home for the next year. |
Flying is such a crazy experience. I never realized how beautiful the earth is (like to this point) until I saw all the different forms of terrain, mountain ranges, deserts, oceans... just amazing.
It also made me think of back back in the day when Saima, Safa, and mostly Mohammad and me would run around in the backyard and remembering the times when planes would fly over the yard and I would stop whatever I was doing to jump up and down and scream/wave hi. I really thought they could see me then, and although I grew out of that... (Lol!!! JK, I still do it. Hahahhaha JK!) and got old enough to know they cant.... this finally flight proved it to me. Wow, what a waste of my life!
When we arrived, everyone on the plane clapped and I couldn't stop smiling.
