+ Wes finally got his eye surgery. He was going to get the LASIK but apparently his eyes are all weird so he had to get the other type. Anyway, he's still recovering and he's off of work until next Wednesday. Until then it's lots and lots of eye drops, laying in dark rooms and not doing too much else. Hopefully he will be recovered enough to do something for his actual birthday this coming Tuesday.
+ We're less than one month away from the wedding. Even closer than that? Being back in the States: May 13. Currently, I am SICK of planning the wedding and asking people to do stuff re: the wedding. I am thinking we should have just used the money for some crazy trip instead. Oh well. No turning back now.
+ Speaking of which... I'll be in Chicago May 15-17 for a SND MeetUp. Super excited for that. Plus I plan on doing some "Chicago eating" while in town. Hot Doug's, here I come.
+ The big WOMAD festival is currently going on in Abu Dhabi. It's a big cultural music festival featuring lots of live performances on the public beach. Totally free. Robert Plant, of Led Zepplin fame, is headlining tomorrow night. I'll be there.
+ Wes and I secured tickets to the big Abu Dhabi F-1 race for the weekend of Nov. 1. Should be insane.
+ We're starting to come to the realization that no one will probably come visit us here. I think what it comes down to is people imagine the UAE and the rest of the Middle East as a non glamourous place. It's too bad, really, because the UAE is full of glamour and flash. Since we've come to this realization we've decided to just go ahead and start using our vacation time. After wedding season is over we're looking at trips to India and Istanbul for sure... both are easy (and cheap) weekend trips for us. Also in the near future: Malta (staying with realitives makes it cheap).
