Today is a travel day. Our flight from Cairo, Egypt to Amman, Jordan left at noon (a nice sensible time) and we even arrived 20 minutes early. Getting through the airport probably took almost as long as the flight did. There was the typical mile walk from the gate, then a few folks need to stop at the currency exchange, then we all had to purchase Visas, then there was customs and finally bag pickup. But we're not done yet .... a stop to pick up cell phone sim cards for a couple of people and the ATM for a few more. Luckily the lines were small or non-existent or it could have taken a lot longer.Today is a travel day.

It's chilly and rainy in Amman but we were rewarded with this beautiful rainbow.

Our guide told us that some tall skyscrapers are being built --- we'll just have to believe him.
