Are we there yet?

No! But its fine. When this was first planned we were told it was going to happen very quickly, and started making arrangements. Thankfully we didn't sell the house so we still have somewhere to live! I guess with the economic downturn things are proceeding a little more slowly than we expected but the move is still happening.

This extra time has been a blessing and a curse.

It's a problem because we had started packing and sorting. We had a few cold nights last week and I had to unpack a few boxes to find some warmer clothes.

I really would have prefered though, to arrive in Abu Dhabi during their winter so we do not arrive when its so hot, oh well, thats what air-conditioners are for I guess.

And a blessing because we get to spend more time with family and friends here in Melbourne.

Our little dog Daisy died two weeks ago and I am very grateful that didn't happen a week after I left.

I need to remember how frustrated I am feeling now, when I am in Abu Dhabi and homesickness is rearing its ugly head.

  1. Welcome to the UAE if you manage to get there soon! We have already left after 3 years there and had a ball.

    The UAE has a great blogging community and a central blog: UAE Community Blog

    Two solid gold Abu Dhabi bloggers (and friends of mine) who would go out of their ways to help you if needed are:
    Kaya and Jayne. Hop over to their blogs and make their acquaintance!
