Well Worth the Hassle!

Normally, when my parents send us a box, the post office guys have learned I tip VERY big for delivery...so yesterday when the guy came to tell me I had to go to the post office for my box....I was not only confused but VERY let down! He told me it was open until 4.

I didn't ask the right question.

They were no longer giving packages out tho, so getting there, waiting in line and all that jazz that may seem tough in America HA! well, here it's a whole new level....just to tell me "yep, there's your box, nope, we don't give packages out past 3pm"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! there it was!
















Got a taxi today - Ieman to drive me to some errands after a migraine started my day and interrupted a play date. Because if I leave the box more than a couple days, they charge me storage fees and can send it back to the US! gulp!

Well it was well worth the hassle! I thought you might enjoy a bit of America landing in Egypt and our response to it! I had gotten us 3 pool gear - Jasmine a terrycloth robe, Joshua a swim shirt and me a swim suit that fits and isn't falling apart! woo hoo!
