Oman or not Oman

Well, we thought we were going to Oman tomorrow for a weekend break. That is until Russell & Lyra's passports ended up at the Ministry of Finance - and we can't get them back until Russell passes his health check. After near heart attack, Russell rushed to the health clinic only to wait and wait for his paperwork to show up. Then he had to go get Lyra from school so he had to leave before the healthcheck could be done. Then he had to take her for a nap. Then he had to drop off Mary & Amy & Lyra for their Desert Safari. Then he made his way through mounds of traffice to the medical clinic only to find out that he needed to be there before 4pm in order to get his passport back today. No one bothered to mention that.

So, now we wait. And cross our fingers. And try not to think about it too much. And hope that it gets processed tomorrow. And try not to think about the pre-paid hotels that we may not be able to use. And try not to think about how I TOLD THEM on Sunday that I needed the passport back TODAY. And hope that it gets processed tomorrow. And try not to think about it too much. And cross our fingers. So, now we wait.

Om - Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (not working!)
