series of random events...

WE FINALLY GOT THE STORM I HAD BEEN ASKING FOR!!! Sunday we had one heck of a rain that lasted the entire day! Oh it was good.

Yesterday was ungodly windy.

Today was chilly but still pretty nice.

Today I also was propositioned to go to Dubai to pick up a cat that belongs to one of the fellow teachers. She can't go because of visa problems and offered to pay for the trip. No problem. We go down to the travel agent to get the arrangements set up for this weekend--yes, I'm going to Dubai THIS WEEKEND! and then started the hilarity. The travel agent needed to know the dimentions of the cage (one phone call to the house keeping said cat in Dubai), the weight of the cage (another phone call), the weight of the cat (another phone call), and the weight of the cat and cage together (yet another phone call). By the time we got off the phone with Nigel the last time, Amira and I were rolling on the floor laughing. Only in Bahrain will one travel agent remind us of the complications of having pets with so many bloody questions that we're suposed to know off the top of our heads.
