Our morning started with David very nervous about receiving our COVID-19 results in time for our flight. We’re required to have written proof of a negative PCR test taken no earlier than 72 hours prior flight time to enter Egypt. We made an appointment and had our noses swabbed on Sunday morning. It’s Tuesday morning, 4 hours before takeoff and NO RESULTS! I called Walgreens and they referred me to the Lab. I went online and was able to locate and print our needed form. WHEW!! Crises avoided

We Uber to the airport, check our bags and head for the dreaded TSA line. After a considerable wait and partially disrobing, we shuffled off to our assigned gate. A short 1 1/2 hour trip gets us to LAX for an invigorating 2 mile walk between terminals

Next stop, Hammad International Airport in Doha Qatar. A mere 8600 miles and a 16 hour plane ride away
