Dubai Here I Come

Okay so today I went to the holdover meeting and they announced my name to fly out of Houston day after tomorrow. WHOA! I was NOT expecting that. I thought I would be in Houston at least a few more days twiddling my thumbs.

So Nora and the kids are going to head down here to Houston tomorrow after Annalisa gets out of school. They are going to see me off. I am going to try and get a solo room tomorrow. I just saw a lot of other people in the lobby ready to fly out so there must be more rooms available. If so, my family can stay with me here at my hotel the night before I leave.

I'm glad I didn't unpack too much. I just hope I can persuade the front desk staff to give me a room by myself.

I know I just left Austin, but I can't wait for my family to get here. Michael couldn't get out of work last minute, so I will miss seeing him again. :-(

I'm feeling restless and still exhausted from the weekend. I still have a few things to tend to before I leave so I will do that tomorrow while I wait for Nora. She is so good to me. Especially to drive all this way with the kids, by herself. She is definitely brave and very compassionate. And I love her.
