Hey Tom,
Can't believe how good it is to see you back, but the next time you go out
there make sure you include a quick stop in Cairo. Can't offer any HRH's,
falcon hunting, or butlers, but I know some great kebab places and I bet
they can't take you out for a ride around a whole mess of pyramids! Nobody
here is in the UAE class for racing, so it would have to just be for fun.
But you'd be MORE than welcome.
