Oman... the abode... the land

Lets be honest... most people have no clue where I'll be spending the next four months. Its not anyones fault; the first group of tourists to Oman (a grand total of 14) visited in 1983---So some visual aids might help.....
Though I've been so nervous about my travels... I realize how amazing this trip is going to be... the items on my "to do in Oman" list is growing, and I cannot wait to cross them off in the months to come!

One thing is to brave the heat, which apparently at its height can reach 48C or around 118F. Now, maybe the Texas summers won't be so dreadful after that!

Oman is also known for its witchcraft-- I think even if I dislike everything about Oman (doubtful), this witchcraft will provide some interesting stories.

Two words..... Sea Turtles

And lastly... I so want to try to buy a goat... or a camel! at the livestock market. Okay..... maybe not buy, but at least pretend to buy

Well, little time before my departure.. I'll be leaving Friday at 8:00am, flying through Austin, landing in JFK. I don't leave the states until 11:00pm Eastern time and I will arrive in Dubai at 8:00pm local time on the 1st (which is 11:00am central). And finally landing in Muscat at 11:45 pm local (2:45pm central)
