On the plane, the guy next to me happened to be an Egyptian-American. About 30-years-old, he had spent three years in San Diego, and six years in Qatar. Without prompting, he said, "When we get to Cairo, I'll be escorted from the airport by a cop!"

"Wow, how do you manage that?!"

"Connections!"

OK, long day, I'm going to bed now. Traveling during Covid is rather stressful, you might say. Goodnight.
