Hello All,First of all, thank you all for your comments. This will be our best means of communication as I'm having difficulty with my emails.
This is the second post I'm writing this morning. My last post was really quite good but I ran out of time on the card just as I was finishing up and poof it was gone.
So this will be a shorter version as we will be leaving for the airport in about 20 minutes.
Betsy and I are here in Dubai...
Our flight was long but comfortable. We were delayed taking off at Kennedy for over an hour but I understand that the weather got worse after we left. Our friend Chris Gaskin had his flight cancelled. We haven't been able to reach him so Chris if you read this we are hoping you are on your way to Dhaka. My heart fell when we heard you were not on Saturday's flight to Dubai. We hope you weren't stranted in New York.
Dubai is an absolutely amazing place from the Masques, the hotels, the indoor Ski Dubai...We took a bus tour yesterday as we thought this would be the best way to see as much as we could and we did. The people here are wonderful very friendly and helpful...Needless to say we have already shared some Caring Coins.
We are looking forward to going to Dhaka. Needless to say it will be a huge cintrast to Dubai. I am so looking forward to meeting our friend Rubel.
I have to run... Continue to follow us and keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Salley and Betsy
Great to hear that you got to enjoy a bit of Dubai! Can't wait to hear your first impressions of Dhaka. I hope Chris can catch up with you soon, it would be a shame for him to miss this trip! We talked to Dad yesterday, he was so sorry that he missed your call while he was out in the rain showing houses! Stay safe! We love you! Love, Salley Anne, Andy & Lily
ReplyDeleteHi Mom, I tried posting but it didn't work the first time! Anyway, I'm glad that you got to see some of Dubai! Hopefully Chris will be able to catch up with you two! I spoke with Dad yesterday and he was sorry that he missed your call while he was out showing houses. Can't wait to hear your first impressions of Dhaka! Stay safe! Love, Salley Anne, Andy & Lily
ReplyDeleteBestsy and Salley,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that you made it to Dubai without too much trouble!! I've been thinking about you EVERY DAY since you left. I so hope that Chris gets there as well.
I'm sending my love, thoughts and prayers for a safe, fulfilling trip that makes a difference.

Hi Salley,
ReplyDeleteHello from PA’s Beautiful Endless Mountains!
[Apparently my post after Denise’s didn’t go though.]
It is so wonderful that your dream is now taking you across the globe! Those you meet along the way, like us, will be blessed because even with the vast cultural differences, they will certainly understand your wonderful smile and truly caring soul.
Delighted that your trip overseas wasn’t canceled and that you arrived safely with enough time to see some of Dubai and recoup before the next leg.
Hoping Chris arrives soon. Sending hugs to all 3 of you.
Love,
Elaine
We wrote an email first and now hoping this gets through. Just full of admiration for all of you and the wonderful gifts you are bringing as you meet all the new friends you encounter on your journey.
ReplyDeleteSafe travel wherever you go and know that we have you in our thoughts every day. That's A&P
All our love,
