Grandparents Get Ready!!! After serious drama from our now "ex"-travel agency, we have tickets to the USA. Our travel agency in Cairo, Thomas Cook, told us there was not a single empty economy class seat out of Cairo on ANY airline in early August, and we were seriously sweating as to what to do. The travel agent actually told us that there was nothing we could do but CANCEL our entire vacation. I was seriously having a nervous breakdown!! This is after they stalled for 5 days on even properly searching for tickets, refused to return phone calls, and said their job was done after getting us on a WAIT LIST for a flight. AAAHHHHH!!!!!
Anyway, we ditched them and found tickets immediately on the internet -- like in 5 minutes. So clearly the travel agency was lying when they said they had searched for seats and there was nothing available. We did end up having to pay more for the flights than we would have liked, and we had to be slightly flexible in our dates, but at least we have tickets!
We are arriving on August 2 in New York JFK, going to Seattle on August 13, and coming home to Cairo on August 25. So I hope everybody is ready for a little Maya summer craziness.

OK, I'm attaching a very cool snapshot of Maya caught in the act of feeding her horsey. And another of Maya and daddy looking cool.
