Making Eid plans!
Many of you know how boring and sad it is to eat futoor by yourself, I have a suggestions on how to change that in 5 minutes!For the last couple of days, I have been trying to plan my eid trip. Orginally, I was going to go on a business/ convocation trip back to Canada. I booked a flight back to Jeddah the night before eid so I can be with my family. Low and behold, I discover that my family will ALL be out of town. My choices to join them ranged between Cairo, Paris and London. :S That sucks. I checked out where my friends are going and my options expanded even further to Canada, USA, Cardiff, beirut and Jordan! Sigh...more options and non of which I like.
Then, it occured to me. Why don't I do what I REALLY want? There has been a couple of places on my mind which I have been thinking about. New places that I have never been before. I always wanted to go to those Arabic countries I have never visited! Suddenly, I had MORE options, non of which my FRIEDNS liked! LOL. I want to go to either Tunisia, Morocco or Oman.
So, today during my alone time with my salad and frozen lasagne, I decided. Oman it is!!! Thanks to a certain blogger who once visited this fantastic place and I have been curious ever since! It's an awesome hotel, plus the choice of activities are exciting! Scuba diving in the Indian Oceans (hello sharks!), Horseback riding into the desert, ATV adventures...you name it! The you come back to a luxurious hotel and treat yourself to world-class spa treatments.
So, I went ahead, called them up and booked three nights =) I told anyone who would like to join should confirm by tomorrow before 6pm.
Hehehe, suddenly my lonely futoor wasn't lonely no more. I kept getting so many calls! (from excited friends or confused parent LOL either way I was getting calls left and right :P)
So, people, moral of this post is, if you are lonely, think of an absolutely NEW place to go for Eid and suddenly you will be extremely popular for 30 minutes!!!
cheers!

Oman I hear is awesome. My aunt went there, she's really cool. she looved the people, the nature, the weather, and decided she's moving there.
Of course she's a fluke, and a month later she decided she wants to be Dutch..
I miss our long msn discussions. You know, the ones where you were all philosophical on me :-)
I miss you!!! You'll love the Chedi. Amazing hotel. Make sure to spend time on the pool that I have a picture of on my facebook album. Also, make sure to go dolphin watching. Beautiful country. I'm sure you'll love it and I'm pleased you still remember :-)
Take care hun.
Now i'm sooooo excited to go to Oman. Seems like I might go a little crazy this christmas after all :)

What a great way to un-lonely ur self!! :P i heard Oman is great; my friends in Sharja go there all the time!
Have fun!
A British colleague of mine visited Muscat and Salala... He said both were nice, but that Salala was way nicer... If you get the chance, take a day trip down there, it supposedly worth it!
