Vacation Update...

Last Thursday was the official start of vacation!

And we've been doing... well, not very much actually.

We'll be in Canada in a week (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and have been enjoying this downtime: Getting our apartment more in order, heading up to Abu Dhabi for a mammoth shopping spree, and generally just relaxing. We're also cat-sitting for our friend, Paul. He took our terrible beasties in for 5 months (!) when we first got here, so we didn't even have to think twice about feeding his crew while he's in Australia.

The daytime temps are topping 50 these days, so we can't do much in the way of outdoor activities. Last night, we didn't turn on the aircon in the livingroom, and it hit 30+, which is what I expect we'll have in Ontario and Quebec in August. Of course, it was still 20 degrees cooler than the outside temp....

Other than that, we are getting ready to head to Canada, planning another quick trip to Abu Dhabi, and doing all the errands that we never seemed to have time for before.

Boring, I know, but sometimes the thrilling, exciting, jet-setting lifestyle has to include a bit of downtime. ;)
