We got our departure information on Friday! We leave from DFW on September 1st! I can officially start the blog now, as I have something to write about!
I don't want to bring my new camera through the airport with me (we have enough stuff already!) so I will wait to purchase it in Abu Dhabi. I apologize in advance for phone pictures here until I get it up and running.
As far as communication until we are settled, we will use Skype, and we have a Skype direct number that is a US number. It will call my computer like a landline. If we are home, we can pick it up, or you can leave a message. If you don't have the number yet, message me on Facebook and I'll send it to you. We will have our cell phones set up as soon as we can, but it will be a UAE number.
Another note: The time difference is 9 hours on the east coast, 8 hours for Central time for you Texans. For instance, right now it is 12:10 PM in Texas, so it is 9:00 PM in Abu Dhabi.
Next post will be from the airport!
