Cairo to USA

19 December 2009- Saturday

After a relatively benign flight from Cairo to JFK I arrived just as the east coast storm hit. After customs I tried to transfer my bags and found all flights had been canceled out of JFK- went and re-booked (along with hundreds of others) and was scheduled out the next day- a Sunday the 20th at 2 pm. Was also fortunate to run into a GCT representative who gave me the name of a motel on Long Island was rooms were being scarfed up fast- so an 89 dollar cab drive (a rip off by a Pakisitani) to a Hampton Inn and a 189 dollar room set me up for the night
