Oh man..... I'm in Oman!
Hellooooooooo! Well, I did it, after 14 hours of air travel I'm in the middle east. I have to keep this short because I pulled a 'Henrick' (I left my laptop charger in the states). So a couple of things; If you ever get the chance, fly Etihad airlines, do so at once! The flight, accommodations, and everything about it was was wonderful. I'm in a hotel tonight and everyone here is extremely helpful and nice. The food is very good!!! It tastes like a combination of Indian/Mediterranean food (their version of Hummus though is not as flavorful as the Mediterranean versions. Well, I totally miss my Dog!!!! leaving Anika was a heart-wrenching experience. Leaving was extremely stressful, and I almost chose to not fly and instead get thrown in jail for trying to kill the cab driver who was suposed to take me to the airport! I have some photos, nothing really to cool yet but whatever. The money here is very pretty. It hasn't sunk in yet what is exactly what so its like having dollars and monopoly money in my wallet at t he same time. Oh yeah its HOT here right now (height of the Summer)! The climate and terrain are not too far off from where I lived in AZ (though thank God it is nowhere near as hot as it was in Yuma [120 + all sumer]) so yeah... I will try and get a new power adapter and see what happens... tomorrow I get shown my place and get checked in to my new accommodations (which is said to be between 1200-1500 square fett!!!)... Well for all those concerned, I got here OK and for now, all is well. I love and miss you all... please send pictures (especially if you're hot, female and single [or two out of three will do].... till next time. Oh yeah the money all has the picture of 'this guy' on it (probably a talk show host or famous carnival barker!!!!) I'm calling him 'Sparky'! He's my new friend and I talk to him everytime I look in my wallet (there's always a bunch of him looking back at me with that lucid pacific smile, how relaxing). OH WELL, until next time..C"mon sparky, let's go to the BAR!!!

Very pleased to hear that you arrived safely! What is the story with Anika??
Leah was in Boston last night and we had a beer at the Behan. She is on her way to Cali soon. I told her I'd send her your blog address so you two can keep in touch.
Dude! Your in fucking Oman! Crazy! Glad you're there safe and sound. You should get a twitter account.
I'm so happy for you!!
I am also so mad at myself that i got your dates wrong (what happened to the beginning of september??) and planned to be in boston for our twin goings-away f-ing days after you left. pit in my stomach upset about it.
but i said all that in the longest text message ever to travel from north adams ma to fucking oman.
keep writing, it's great to hear your voice this way. and i'm going to try skype too when i'm in CA (9/11's my fly date) so we should keep in touch about that.
also - will you be coming back at all for vacations or holidays, or did i well and truly miss my chance to see you without flying edath (?) airlines? which i'd be willing to save the money for, don't get me wrong.
xoxoxoxoxoxo love you a million or so
