11:30 pm departure from Dulles + 7 1/2 hours flight + 2 1/2 hours layover + 3 1/2 hours on the runway + 6 hours in the terminal + 1 hour waiting for taxi and driving to hotel + 2 hours getting through bath and searching for food + 2 hours convincing the boys that it was time for sleep and not play + a few winks of sleep + 4 hours plane ride to Cairo + 2 hours layover + 1 hour flight to Hurghada + 1 hour drive to Gouna + 2 Hours getting through Bath and unpacking (plus 7 hours to account for the time zone) = A VERY LONG TRIP

Here is Ram near the end of our trip. I must say the boys were real troopers and I was rather impressed at the lack of melt downs. They made a very long hard day go much easier.
