The Long Road to Danat Jebel

Yesterday afternoon all of those who were being placed in Al Ain and Al Gharbia had to check out at 1 and we were to leave at 2. The Al Ain folks left first on two buses and a truck to carry their luggage.

                                                   Had to take a picture of the truck.
Well, after the 34 LTs bound for Al Ain we Al Gharbia folks sat waiting and wondering how they were going to transport us all. There are three main hubs, as I have deemed them- Al Mirfa, Madinat Zayed, Ghayathi. Now Mirfa and Ghayathi are on the northern coast and Madinat Zayed is south. I figured we would be split into two groups and I would ride with the Mirfa group, drop them off then continue. That's not what happened at all.

Omar came up to my little group in the lobby, called my name and informed me my car was here to take me to Danat Jebel. We took a few pics and I was shown to the car. I was so glad I had made peace with my location or that 2 hour drive would have been so sad but it was a lovely drive into the desert. I read my book and listened to the music I had downloaded onto my phone. As you can see in the previous post my new digs are pretty nice...but I know it's temporary. So I'm taking it all in and enjoying it. Budgeting my money and making the most of my frugal teacher ways.
