I was with this group in Egypt, my friends never made it out of the US. I found my self alone in a foreign country undergoing a social revolution. This group of 7 took me in to their group and made my time there a lot more bearable.

Thank you to all of you!

I feel for you and understand what you went through. I too was there on business and escaped on the 1st of Feb. via Turkish airlines to Istanbul, waited 2 days at the airport then went to Amsterdam, waited one day there and then flew home to Houston myself. Not sure where you were but I was in the heart of things in Cairo at a hotel near the airport. Things got a bit dicey a few times and the food ran out, for the most part, but me and a few guys, also working there, spent a lot of time at the bar with beer and pretzels...lol. Nothing else to do really...))) Glad you're home safe. Don't go back!!!....LOL
