I rode on a Camel!!
My cousin and her husband took me to Resort and Spa where I rode on a camel. Not that exciting but now I can say I rode a camel.
Afterwards, we rode around the town, and they showed me parts of Muscat.
Safely in Oman
After 14hrs. and 13,471km I finally landed in Dubai to catch my transfer flight. It felt more like five hours because I kept watching movies back to back - 5 movies total to be exact. I love Emirates Airlines! Everyone has their own touchscreen in front of their seat and can select any movie of their choice, as well as music and TV episodes. You could even view the cameras that were attached to the plane on the outside so you could see clouds for miles.
I thought that sitting in the middle row would suck but I was wrong. The elderly man who sat next to me, David, was very friendly and made it very clear that if I need to stand and/or go to the bathroom I could wake him up at any time. I'm glad he said that because I was chugging down cups of tea one after the other. I had the sweetest hostess, and Ethiopian woman named Tigist. She took me to the back and kept me company during the flight.

Final Count Down
By March 24th I will be off to embark on an exciting journey. First, I am off to Oman to visit family and then ETHIOPIA!I have no idea what to expect but, I am prepared to make this a memorable trip. As time winds down the grin on my face grows wider, I think the excitement is starting show....
More than anything I would like to come back speaking Amharic better than I do now, so until then I will listen to some amarigna music....

In a nutshell it means: No matter where you are you can always come back home, home is where the heart is
