Today was our last day with Joseph and Carrie. We have had a great visit, seen many sights in Oman, played a lot of games, had great chitchats and enjoyed our time here immensely.

Today we: packed our bags

read our books                              

prepared our dinner                  

ate our last meal together    

put away our computers      

and played two games of ‘Oh Crap’ to finish off our last evening.

It is now 9:30 and everyone is going to bed.  We need to get up at 2am to have a quick shower, load the car and get to the airport in time to go through check-in and security for our 5 am flight to Dubai.

We have a short layover of about 3 1/2 hours and then, Lord willing, our 15 hour flight to Seattle begins.  Thankfully Trish has found the car under all the snow we have had at home and plans to pick us up at Kelowna airport when we, hopefully, arrive at 2:40 tomorrow afternoon BC time.

It’s been a slice and now, unfortunately we have to go home.  Thank you Joseph and Carrie for a great Christmas. Thank you Trish for being with us the first two weeks.  Maybe we’ll do it again sometime…
