I decided I would create a blog to record my life in Dubai for those friends and family members who have an interest in knowing about my experiences. I have never used a blog outside of class, so this is new and I am not entirely at ease talking about myself in this format. However, it seems like the most effective way to reach everyone (this way you can just come look if you are interested--fewer emails backing up in the system). I will try to keep the posts short and let pictures do much of the talking. A dear friend suggested that I post some pictures that include me in them--not my favorite thing--so that my granddaughter, Ava Grace, can see that Mimi is actually there next to the camels she loves to photograph. So, I will see if I can prevail upon strangers and hopefully, new friends to take pictures of me next to other more interesting people and things.
FYI: I fly out of Austin on August 10, 2007, land in Dubai on August 11, and begin orientation at Zayed University on August 12. As the countdown begins now in earnest--less than five weeks away--I will try to update the blog from time to time with regard to my progress, or lack thereof. Thanks to all my dear friends and my wonderful family for their support.
