Spring Break

March 24

After teaching a full day, I came home and put the finishing touches on packing. I always hope I’ve thought of everything, but especially this time. I knew I had to be “covered” whenever I was in a public area. That meant to the wrist (although they did accept 3/4 length sleeves), to the ankle (pants or skirt) and head. At 8:00 Abdul came and picked Megan, Eugene, and me up to go to the airport for our flight to Dubai. It was scheduled to leave at 11:35 pm. Check in was a breeze (there were no lines!!) and we sat and waited. Then we noticed that the last flight (at 12:10, or something), which Shahid and Cathy were supposed to be on, was cancelled. We called them and they raced to the airport and made it through security just as we were boarding! Whew! Since Dubai is an hour ahead of us, we landed at 1:00 something. Our flight for Shiraz, Iran was due to leave at 5:10 am. We grabbed a bite to eat and saw Gabe and Glenn, who had spent the night in Dubai.

Ahhhhh, I am being told I’ve reached my plan storage limit so I am going to have to figure out what to do. That’s all until I do.
