This is my restful place for a glass of wine post long work sessions. Tiny dog loves it out here after being cooped up indoors all day.

Goodbyes
My friend Mandy posted this and it resonates with me a lot currently. She will be one of my harder goodbyes but I know that she will be one of those people covered by number 9 “If you matter to them, you will talk again.” To be fair, we won’t ever actually stop talking, lol!Anyway, I’m at T minus 33 hours for my flight to Baltimore. Headed to the beach to enjoy some final hours in one of my favorite places.
My Crossfit folks rock!
Tomrrow may be my last day at Crossfit PBA. This great group of people has pushed and supported me to become stronger than I have ever been. I have enjoyed almost every minute, and that is saying a lot for a girl who hates the gym! We have shared a lot of laughs, some tears and quite a few grunts, yells and cuss words! I will miss these people every day and know that they will be waiting with open arms to kick my ass when I return to the states!
Fascinating photos
Travel joy
The guy who booked my travel missed the part that I would be in CT & could easily fly out of Boston OR New York to Riyadh. So, I’m booked on a flight from Boston to New York to Riyadh, bah!
Employment Authorization
My contract and employment authorization arrived yesterday. The funny part is that the authorization could be for anything…the funnier part is that it is for “Domestic Manager.” Glorified housekeeper, anyone? I’m thinking you all need to watch for me on Downton Abbey, KSA edition in the near future.
Flight info
I have a ticket. I will be flying directly from JFK to Riyadh, 11 hours and 45 minutes, no layover. That is going to be a looong stretch! But Saudi Arabian Airlines look pretty luxurious. Bigger seats than most and they have footrests. Plus the food actually sounds good. I am looking forward to a new standard in travel.
I have a date!
I’ve been informed that I “mobilize” to Riyadh on 5 July. Yikes, this just got real…fast!!!
T minus 2 weeks
I’ve just booked my flight & a hotel in Baltimore. I get to attend a week of training at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Fabulous professional opportunity! Then I’m on to CT for a visit with family & friends before heading off on my trip.
Visa joy
