Just on a whim, I turned on my laptop while sitting outside Gate 122 in Dubai. Imagine my surprise – Internet! Free Internet at that.
I have been through most (but not all) of my email accounts but still have to download all the pix off my camera which means that it will be a day or two before I can share pictures of Dubai, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and the ship.
What can I say? 8-15th in the Arabian Gulf with sunshine, smooth seas, warm temps, more food that anyone in their right mind would eat and a relaxing time spent with the Eldest. No snow, no rain. No shoveling, cursing or cars that slide across the road and into a ditch.
I still have an hour before flight time. A quiet transition when not quite on vacation but not yet returned to the world of deadlines, laundry, house repairs and uniforms.
I knit a scarf while underway, half a shawl and the body of a raglan sweater. Never did get to the socks….
sounds like it was a perfectly lovely vacation, I’m happy for you and the Eldest.
It sounds like a beautiful vacation, and you created memories for your oldest’s lifetime.
And the shawl will always have a little of it in it.
