Expedition Log - Coles & Granger Ltd. Expeditions - The Lost Letters from Egypt - 12 days before Expedition Launch.
Dear Diary, February 27, 2009: With a sense of expectancy, I open the case.

The ankh seems somehow familiar to me.
Very, very puzzling. There is a small envelope addressed to me, and I open it to find an invitation to a cocktail party at the Mena House in Cairo on March 11.
