Everythings Coming Together

Thankfully, mostly to Gail, things are coming together for our move to the UAE. The house is rented, the cars are being sold this week (thanks Jeff), and then we are down to the little stuff.

We're excited, nervous and a little sad about the move. It will be a great opportunity for us to experience the culture of the middle east, and maybe get a better understanding of the religion and politics of the region.

It's also a great opportunity to travel around that part of the world and Europe without a 20 hour trip. Greece is a four hour flight!

Looking out over Elliott Bay on this semi-clear day, I'm starting to realize how much I'll miss the "good weather days" in the GNW. A friend that has traveled out of the county quite a bit told me that you can't truly appreciate what we have in this country until you leave it.
