If Bill's sister didn't live there, I'd be ready to be done with it. As it is, we'll probably be making quite a few more trips unless we work out how to meet up elsewhere. They have much greater resources than we do, so it would be a challenging compromise, but I think it's worth working on.<br /><br />PT&E - Dorothy was right, "There's no place like home."<br /><br />Rick - I've no doubt you do miss 'that woman'. I wondered if your feelings about the stick house might change now that she's gone. <br /><br />Bliss - I vaguely remember reading about 'black mold'; really surprised we didn't get it as everything else extreme happens in AU. The Artist was unexpectedly clever, I thought.<br /><br />LR - Yes, it is good that Chris recovered, not just for him - for Jane as well. <br /><br />Ilegirl - Australian customs are pretty strick, them being an island without rabies, etc. What the Dubai official thought we were trying to pull is beyond me. He struck me as a newbie still enjoying his new found 'power'.<br /><br />Terri - Dubai is a very striking place, even from just what we saw in the taxi. I'm not sure I would choose to go on holiday there though. It is a significantly different culture and there is a language barrier.<br /><br />http://shelleyshouse.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/dungeons-of-dubai.htmlShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-9553939247006286042012-04-27T06:34:38.204+01:002012-04-27T06:34:38.204+01:00Did you ever get out of the airport area in Dubai?...Did you ever get out of the airport area in Dubai? I keep hearing fabulous things about that city. It sounds like there were some positive moments in Australia...after all.

Basement flooding is the worst--I have lived through it many times and each time was totally paranoid about black mold (thankfully this has not happened in our current home). And I LOVED "The Artist"--great movie!! xo BlissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-52759265896718087202012-04-25T22:48:29.467+01:002012-04-25T22:48:29.467+01:00Regardless of the fun or the turmoil we encountere...Regardless of the fun or the turmoil we encountered in our travels Joanne was usually ready to get back to her house. Me on the other hand would have rather stayed out on the road. Now that it is just me I feel more comfortable here at home and more understand her attachment to "home". BTW, have I mentioned lately how much I miss that woman?Rick Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771838562627660449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-34383429019801303462012-04-25T19:21:16.426+01:002012-04-25T19:21:16.426+01:00Oh Nooooo!
