Here I come: Oman & Jordan

By ~jordanians and ~buthy-13

I was supposed to post this on the 26th but a lot of things happened so I ended up forgetting about it and blogging about R instead =\

Anywho, exactly what the title says. My family and I are going to be traveling from NZ all they way to sweet sweet but HOT (=\) Oman and Jordan. Honestly I've got these mixed feelings in me about this whole trip. Like, I'm excited and all but at the same time, I'm like =S this is big. Haven't travelled in while. Things have changed...so on.

We're going to see relatives (Jordan) who we (bros and I) haven't seen for a really long while (since 2003 =\). Go around Jordan and visit all its historical places, and so on. Plus there's Oman...I MISS OMAN!!! I'm actually more excited for Oman than Jordan, which is funny because I'm staying longer in Jordan than in Oman (5 days out of 23...I think it's 23 days). Last time I was in Oman was on January 2006. So I'm sure it's all changed and stuff.

Distribution of days as follows:

~ First stop Oman #Days = 2
~ Second stop Jordan #Days = 16
~ Third stop back to Oman #Days = 3
~ Fourth and final stop NZ -_____-

What am I going to do in Oman for the first stop? Buy a Phone (and burn my 6630 xD), a camera, visit a beach (!), eat Ista6ambooli shawarma (!), a Supreme Zinger, BBQ-ed 7abbar with tamerin sauce (<3) (!) and most importantly meet up with some close friends who I haven't seen since 2006 =( I'd like to go to the cinema but maybe there's not much time for that..who knows *eyeing Faith =P* Also I gotta get as much rest as possible...going to be so jet lagged. The trip is direct from Aussie to Dubai; 14 hour flight. I'm so not looking forward to that >.< but I am looking forward to all the movies I could possibly watch *huge smile*

As for Jordan...things will just happen by themselves...there's no specific plan really. But we know where we want to go, see, visit and what we want to eat! lol.

I've decided to stay away from the net/laptop for the entire duration I'm overseas, especially in Jordan...internet tech is not so WOW there, and I've also decided to buy a little book to write everything I do and happens in it so that when I'm back in NZ I'd update this blog about the trip.

Yaay! I seriously don't know what to expect, what I'll see...WHO I'll see, so on. So this is the "thrill" of it all =D

Countdown: 28 Days to go
