Today...

At around 5:30pm, my British Airways flight will depart from O'Hare and my adventure will begin.

I'd kind of rather just stay at home and watch Real Housewives of New Jersey with my mom. Basically, it's a good thing that this trip is already planned because I feel completely unmotivated right now.

In other news, I bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies yesterday and really look forward to reading it. Oh yeah, I went there.

So I didn't get my shit together in time to get my travel visa to Egypt from the Chicago consulate. Apparently it takes 2-3 days, not 1 hour. After I rushed around this morning to get passport pictures. At least I found this out before I took the hour-long train ride into the city. *sigh* If I had kept with my lie (that I needed my passport to get a visa for a trip to Jordan--a trip I'm actually taking), my mom would have mailed me my passport and I could have taken care of this in NYC. I've known that I wanted to do this for ages. Ugh. 

My new plan of attack is to go to Tel Aviv on Sunday and get the visa from the Egyptian Embassy. I can go in the morning, file the paperwork, and do some exploring while they process everything. Woo! Thank god I already have the passport picture...now all I need is Hilary's contact information in Cairo.

This replanning has gotten me more excited. :P
