The countdown has started. Only 55 days to my annual vacation. The destination is Amman, Jordan of course!! And I’m entitled to 40 days of vacation! Not too bad!
I will be leaving on July 7 and coming back on August 17. Jeff will join as well, but we don’t know for how long as things are still not clear with him workwise! We will just have to wait and see.
My boss is sending me tomorrow to a training course run by the UK-based Thomson Foundation. The course is entitled “Print Media Interviewing Techniques”.
I am excited. It will really look good on my CV. Although I will have long days (from 9:00 am until 11:30 PM), I think the course will be rewarding
So Sandy is here and life is great. She arrived yesterday afternoon. The minute I saw her face at the airport I knew she just had a fight. What happened was that she got us a bottle of wine from duty free but Qatar customs refused to let her enter the country with the bottle of wine. She didn’t know the rule of no-alcohol-entry in Doha. So what happened came both as a shock and a pisser. She got over it eventually.
From the airport we went directly to Johnny Rockets for a quick lunch then we went back to the house to chill. After that we went to the Corniche, along the sea shore to see a photo exhibition. Then we followed that up with dinner at a Mexican restaurant at the Marriott called Salsa.
The plan today is shopping, shopping and more shopping. We are planning to take her to the major malls here: City Centre, Landmark and the Mall. We might go to the movies afterwards if she finishes her shopping early, which, knowing Sandy, I doubt;-)
