Woke up at 4:00 a.m. feeling horrible. I grabbed for my med bag and took two Gravol and headed for the bathroom. Just made it onto the toilet. Geesh, it was like pissing through my asshole (pardon the graphics of that). I heaved a few times and was ready to use the bathtub for that purpose if necessary, but managed to keep it down. I stayed until the nausea settled and then went back to bed. Laid down and was back up within five minutes and in the washroom again. I finally made it to sleep at 5 a.m.

I woke up around 12:30 and was just getting up when the phone rang, it was Mo. He wanted to come get me in an hour, but I told him to wait until around 3 because I wasn't feeling well. He said that he was sick in the morning too, but was fine by then, so it must have been the food. He told me which gifts were for me, and what was for Julie, (he had brought them the night before and forgot to give them to us) so we opened them, he gave us each a Papyrus painting, and me a mother of pearl trinket box. I had my shower and did some packing and he called at 3 (after I'd hit the bathroom two more times), he was downstairs waiting to pick me up.

We went and did some shopping, we went to a papyrus shop and I found another piece that I liked and wanted to get. When I went to pay for it he insisted and had another piece that he wanted to get me too. We went to Pizza Hut for dinner, I didn't want anything but he made me eat some potatoe wedges, I tried my best but couldn't get much down and was no sooner back in the washroom. We walked somemore and then went to a coffee shop, I figured mint tea might help. We sat there for a couple of hours (bathroom again) and headed home at around 8 so I could finish packing. We came in and sat in my room, and chatted as I packed. Julie called me into the other room and stated that Yasser wasn't impressed, he didn't want Mo there, I said that it was our last hour here and I want to spend it with him. She said Yasser was pissed off and that we know that Mo is not supposed to be there (I don't get the reasoning, honestly, something to do with the neighbours talking... two couples, doesn't look good, but it was okay for Julie and Yasser to be there alone, or for him to sleep over. I paid half the apartment, figured I should have the right to invite a friend over). She said she figured that they weren't friends anymore, I knew that, but, according to Mohab, it had been brewing for a while. So, I'd had enough of this and got pissed, finished packing and took my stuff to the door. I told Julie that I would meet her at the airport. We went for another walk and I vented, big time. We walked by the Nile, then hailed a taxi. It took us home, we went up and grabbed my stuff, and took it down to the cab. We drove to the airport, I wasn't allowed to cry. We were at the airport too early, so sat and had a drink (more mint tea). So, he took me to check in, Julie, Yasser, and Rashwan were there already. We went and said "hi", I said goodbye to Rashwan and Yasser wouldn't even look at us, oh well. So, we said our goodbyes and I went through security. He stayed behind the glass watching until I was out of sight. Julie and I did some shopping in a gift shop and sat and had a croissant and a Sprite (first actual food of the day). Then, went to the gate and waited for the plane.

We have differing stories from the two guys, so, obviously we will believe the one we were with, so, we won't talk about it so as not to end up on the outs ourselves.
