Well, based on the information we received about baggage restrictions, we have changed our travel plans.
We have requested that AUC fly us to Cairo without a layover in Europe, which is kind of a bummer.
Hopefully we will get a chance to spend some time in Europe after we arrive, either for Christmas break, spring break or summer.
On the bright side, this change in plans gives us slightly more time to pack and get organized, and more time to say goodbye to our friends here in Seattle.
