Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

I don't even know what to title this post.

Possibilities:

We Are Leaving Today For Dubai.

PDX - SFO - DXB = 17.5 Hours Of Flying.

I've Been Waiting So Long For This Day And Yet I Can't Believe It's Finally Here.

OH MY GOSH I Am So Tired Of Living Out Of A Suitcase (It's Been Exactly Four Months Now).

Perhaps The Less I Think About It The Less Nervous I'll Be.

Goodbye, Dear Sweet America; or, How I Almost Bought A Costco-sized Box Of York Peppermint Patties Just At The Thought Of Not Seeing Them Again For A Looooong Time.

As you can see, I have a few options.

Speaking of titles, My Adventures in Arabia is winning on the poll so far. It was my own personal frontrunner as well so there's a good chance that's what it will end up being. We'll see.

To tide you over until I emerge on the other side of the Atlantic, please enjoy these pictures my good friend Mikael took of our family. I love having outrageously talented friends.

Welcome to the UAE

WARRIOR DASH!!!!!!!
