Home Alone: Left in Ghana

What?! You don't think Hollywood would pick up the bajillionth sequel in the Home Alone series with a catchy title like that? Sigh. You're probably right.

With Dan and Austin both departing last weekend, I've had a pretty quiet (read as: lame) week alone in the apartment. Monday was pretty uneventful with work and then I ordered some delivery for dinner since I didn't really see the point in grocery shopping. Tuesday was a bit better as we had a post-work "girls night" dinner. It was me, Hannah and Alex along with some wine and good food. We had a good time and it was nice to hang out with some women after having a house of men for most of July.

Wednesday was a busy one between work and trying to get some things wrapped up before my flight. Yes, I said flight. There's another Cavazos adventure afoot. Dan's work training is in Dubai. After many hours on Pinterest hunting down cool things to do/places to eat, shop, etc in Dubai, I decided it was too fun of a place for me to miss out on. Ok, that's a lie, the firm actually asked if I wanted to go.

We will pause here because I'm certain you need to clean up the coffee/water/wine you just spat out reading that sentence. Yes, the firm actually inquired about me as a human being who might want to tag along on this trip. Trust me, I was as pleasantly shocked as you.

Got that mess cleaned up? Good, we'll carry on now. So I fly out Wednesday evening, meaning that when you are reading this, I will likely be somewhere between Cairo and Dubai. We have Thursday night, all day Friday and all day Saturday in Dubai. A late night/early morning flight out of Dubai to Cairo where we have a 20 hour layover on Sunday. We always wanted a long layover in Cairo and this just happened to work out. 

So a few hours of museums, pyramids, camels, etc and then we will trot back to the airport for the long flight home to Accra. We're supposed to land Monday morning early so will probably drop Dan off at work on the way home from the airport. Suffice to say it should be an eventful few days with loads of picture-taking, eating and shopping.

As I will likely be picking desert sand out of ears and/or dodging camel spit on Sunday, there will be no blog post. You'll have to hold out until next Thursday to see some of the photos. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
