Hi Tony

In addition to Alison's info - which as always is spot on - Zeiad is arranging our POA, but I am doing it in UK via notary public (to verify the signature), the Foreign and commonwealth office and the Egyptian Embassy in London. Sound complicated but there are courier companies whio can help if you are not near London.

Of course it is probably cheaper in Egypt but for us, the UK route means we can arrange and sort it out here. I'll post when I've gone through the process and see if I still feel the same!
