The end of the school year is finally here! It seems unbeleivable that it is now June 20th and in two days we'll be beginning our African adventure that we've been talking and dreaming about for so long.
Our first year in Dubai has been wonderful! We feel very very lucky have landed at a school with such great kids, families, and fellow teachers! We were welcomed by so many people here and made part of their circle of friends. It was a big decision to pick up our lives in the states and move to Dubai, and although we miss our friends back home (who we'll see soon) we have no regrets about coming here. This year we settled into our new home and school, saw new countries like Lebanon, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Portugal, and overall had a successful year.
We ship off for Africa on Friday morning and well begin our overland journey the following day. We will visit Tanzania, Zanzibar, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and finish in South Africa. Then we fly to Seattle via Cairo and NYC to stay with Jenn's mom for a few weeks. Then we'll be in Pennsylvania at Indian Lake for most of August before returning here to Dubai on August 20th.
We'll be sure to post pictures of Africa once we land back in the USA.
Wish us luck and have a great summer!!
Jenn and Robbie
