Stu's visit to Egypt.
8/23/01
It's the night before my flight. I feel like I'm at the top of a roller coaster. The clanking chain has suddenly gone silent. The car is teetering on the edge and people are throwing their hands in the air. I know it's safe. I know the restraint system will work. I know there have been thousands ahead of me and there will be thousands to follow. So why the butterflies? Because it's new to me, I guess. I feel prepared. I've checked my list. I've packed. I've said my goodbyes. But my tummy is all aflutter. Ready or not, here I go. Hands up!
