Then it was arranged that we should meet some very high up Navy people. \u00a0We drove to Alexandria along the\u00a0Desert Highway, met with the Navy and gave our technical presentations. \u00a0Mick talked for 10\u00a0minutes, Keith talked for 10 minutes and I talked for 3 hours. \u00a0We talked to Admirals, Commodores\u00a0and about 12 very tough engineers in the EN EW Department. \u00a0Spent other days sitting outside\u00a0by the pool drinking beer (please note that we had to drink a lot of beer in an effort to not drink any\u00a0killer Egyptian water).<br \/><br \/>The last night there, Alkan took us out to dinner on the Nile Maxime, a Nile River cruise. \u00a0We saw\u00a0several belly dancers and then a Whirling Dervish dance. \u00a0Since we were done, we left a day early\u00a0on Thursday at 2 AM and went to Heathrow, Chicago and then DFW. \u00a0We missed our flight in\u00a0Chicago because of a delayed overseas trip.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
