Will in the UAE

Will, at the U.A.E. Historical Village

Will just returned from a five-day trip to the United Arab Emirates for work, though he was in the U.A.E for just three days and in the plane for the other two. He took a 14-hour flight from New York to Abu Dhabi on Monday and arrived Tuesday morning. He left early, early, early Friday morning and arrived in North Carolina at 2 p.m. The U.A.E is eight hours ahead of us. 

Besides being sleep deprived, he had a great time. He ate great food, shopped at the markets, where he picked up a beautiful purse and picture frame for me for Mother's Day, worked a lot, toured the Emirati palace and checked out other cool stuff. In the  city, there is the U.A.E. Historical Village, which was is a representation of the way people in the country used to live. It looks like a desert and has a mosque, a market, a stable, animals and traditional mud-brick huts. 

Will is planning a trip back there in March. 

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I slept in, went shopping, played with my kids. They drew cute Mother's Day cards for me and were on pretty good behavior all day.
