Right now I'm sitting in a 2bedroom 3bath full kitchen hotel.  Sounds extravagant.  A week ago I was sitting in a 3bedroom 2bath house that I own.  The difference is, it was completely empty.  My wife is waiting on a her teaching assignment.  We will be placed in one of three areas.  Way out west in the desert, in the capital city of Abu Dhabi, or Al Ain which is like where we just moved from.  Sharpsburg Georgia 2 Abu Dhabi.  United States 2 United Arab Emirates.  We are surrounded by people from all over the world who are quickly becoming our friends.  Most seem to be from New Zealand.  Each of us are anticipating a move to our designated area.  In between paper work assignments that send us all over the city, we visit these amazing parks and malls built to out do the other.  The worlds largest mall is in Dubai.  They are now building another one bigger than that one.  What a waste of resources.  But hey, they are an oil rich country with nothing else to spend it on. - jeff
