Heading Home

On our last day in Cairo, we relaxed by the pool.

I indulged in a 90-minute massage with hot stones that was amazing. The best part, it was only $100. And she was great!

For dinner, we ate Thai with Green tea.

In the morning we woke to the cleaning person coming into the room although we had a 3pm check out.

The buffet breakfast was excellent with omelets to order, fresh fruit, and a table of pastries.

We relaxed for a while before taking the shuttle to the airport.

We went through security. Actually in all of Egypt it seemed we’d go through two security checks. Total time was less than 40 minutes and then a few to find a lounge. We ate dinner with dessert.

We had to go through another security check at our gate. This time shoes off and Bruce had to give up his water. I guess in countries where terrorist attacks are much more frequent, security is very high. But we went through the 3 security checks and each time a female patted me down all over. And I mean all over!

Our first leg was traveling in business class on Swiss Air to Zurich. We ate our meals on board. I had chicken with polenta and cabbage. Bruce had beef stroganoff. Tasty.

We arrived in Zurich at 10pm and caught a prepaid shuttle to The Hilton Zurich Airport. We had an upgraded room but it was still small compared to US standards.

Breakfast was included and we had a nice view of the mountains.

Definitely some fall color here!

We arrived at the airport. Our toothpaste was confiscated. Surprising with all the security we went through in Egypt, the toothpaste was never on their radar.

We visited an Aspire lounge but it was uncomfortable and also far from our gate. We left and went to a Swiss Air Lounge which was lovely. It also had a view of the mountains.

We boarded our Swiss Air Flight to NY in Business Class. The only way to long distance travel.

The flight attendant offered champagne but we had Elderberry juice that had no alcohol.

I could see the snow capped mountains as we flew over Switzerland.

On Swiss Air Business, they constantly feed you.

Business class I laid out and relaxed.

Coming into JFK, we saw the brilliance of God’s work.

We spent the night at the Hampton Inn near LaGuardia Airport. There was a free shuttle to the airport. Now we are relaxing in a Centurion Lounge.

Almost home. Just a short flight but no business class this time. I don’t mind that if it’s only a 2 or 3 hour flight.

And now our last Lyft ride home!
