It's been a while since we've posted. We have been busy since spring break with lots happening towards the end of the school year; weekends hanging out with DAA faculty and for one weekend we were super happy to host Minh and Micheal who joined us all the way from Tanzania. It was great having them here to show them our new city. Minh was here for an IB training so Micheal was free to explore the city and in the afternoons the four of us went out and about. We saw the souks, had a day at the aquaadventure water park at the Atlantis (which was awesome) and had a really nice Thai dinner overlooking the fountains in Downtown Dubai.
The next few weeks are certainly going to go fast.... Next week is JUNE! We'll be going to the staff talent show next thursday followed by a faculty boat trip on Friday-which will definitely be interesting. The following week will be the school wide end of year bash.
We will finish school on June 21st and on June 22 we'll be boarding a flight to Dar Es Salaam. From there we begin a 4 week overland journey (check in out on overlanding africa.com ) The tour is usually filled with adventurous travelers and we'll be camping and traveling in a big modified truck. We are really looking forward to the journey- Tanzania to Johannesburg stopping at Zanzibar, Lake Malawi, Choebe National Park, Victoria Falls, Okavanga Delta, Kruger National Park and finally to JoBurg. From Jo burg we'll fly via Cairo to NYC then NYC to Seattle- then finishing off the summer in DC/PA.
Our preperations for our big journey are underway... wish us luck.
