This week is my first 3 day work week and it feels pretty nice! I can spend a bit more time at the gym and watch some dvds that I bought years ago in Florida. The heat and construction noise continue to go up but what can one do? We went out for dinner last night at the Beach Rotana Hotel. That's where we lived for 6 weeks when we moved here in 2006. We couldn't believe how much the skyline to the northeast had changed! The expanse of water across to Reem Island from the hotel had been shortened considerably. And there were numerous buildings under construction along with a freeway. I don't think that the hotel beach there has much of a view anymore. Poor Darcy is frustrated by some big personnel changes at her work - 'nuff said! It's now 7 weeks and counting until we leave for Edmonton...

Wow, I can't believe it has been 3 years since you moved. Boy, how time flies! Enjoy your vacation back home.
ReplyDeleteYes, the time has gone by quickly which is both good and bad. Having long vacations is a bonus! We'd like to visit Florida one day...
