Jackson's trip to Egypt

This is a view of the city from their hotel.

Jackson went to Cairo, Egypt on business this past weekend. For those of you who don't know, Jackson works for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). All that means is that he processes and returns illegal aliens to their native country. He doesnt ever get to go overseas..actually he never has and his first time was to Egypt. They had to take a mentally unstable man back to Cairo. It took 4 agents and a nurse to return him to his native country.

Their trip had many legs to it. First, they drove to San Antonio. Then, flew out of San Antonio to Harrisburg, PA. After that, they drove from Harrisburg to New York City and flew out of JFK to Cairo. They got to spend some time there..actually just about 15 hours. While they were there they took a cab to the pyramids and on the way out there their driver took them by some historic landmarks. He said the drive was pretty scary because they dont have traffic laws in Cairo! YIKES! After the pyramids they spent some time at the casino in their hotel...thankfully he won money instead of lost it! When their time was up in Egypt they flew from there to Frankfurt, Germany. He didnt get to go sightseeing there because it was only a 2 hour layover..Then, he arrived at DFW this afternoon. I'm posting some pictures of his trip to Cairo.
