Ila Aliqa Abu Dhabi!

Well, we made it though another academic year and it's vacation time!  This is our third time flying home for summer vacation and it always seems surreal when the departure day arrives.  A friend is going to drive us to the airport so we'll have plenty of time to relax for our 2 am red eye flight to Frankfurt. Then it's on to Calgary and Edmonton.  So another 24 hour flight home.  Luckily I can earn Star Alliance airmiles.  So we'll be back blogging in August!
