Ok, so tomorrow I leave the UK and head off to the sunny, warm climes of Abu Dhabi (with a stop over in Bahrain - gotta love flight connections!) with my allocated 40kg of (very pretty) luggage!!!!
I am starting to get a little nervous about everything, but the biggest thing I have been worrying about isn't "how will I pay for things" or "will everyone understand me" or not even "where the hell will I be living" but "What should I wear on my first day to work and what shoes are acceptable"!!!! Typical eh? Oh, any advice on this would be gratefully recieved!
I've sent messages to everyone I needed to, but I'm sure I've forgotten loads of people like I normally do so if you haven't recieved one, I do apologise and just want to thank you for all you support and encouragement (although I am slightly worried about the cheers I've heard as I've been leaving rooms and about the reason why no-one has asked me to stay!! - glad I'll be missed!)
I have to go and finish my packing, and go and stand on the scales holding my suitcases to ensure they come to the right amount (I will NOT be paying excess baggage!) and then I think I am ready to leave.
My flight is at 8.25pm (UK time) and I will be arriving at 9.20am (UAE time). I will keep you all updated as soon as I possibly can and please, please keep in touch with me while I'm away, be it e-mail, facebook or any other methods you can devise!
I'm not promising postcards....I'm bad enough at those when I'm on holidays! But I will be thinking of you all....and about how glad I am to be hot and not freezing!
Finally, if anyone is ever in the UAE (scarily, everyone I know, knows someone out there!) drop me a line and I'd love to see you!
Bye for now! Jen.xxxxxx
