posting delays

I realize that it's been over a week since I last updated you on Haida or showed you another stop on the tour dubai series. Last week, the company moved Chris and me from the Al Seef Beach Hotel to another place farther away from the port that had lower rent. Since the move, I have had trouble connecting to the internet, along with a myriad of other "difficulties."

I've got more stories to share, so stick around. In the meantime, you could always take a look back through the archives or browse the gallery of pictures on my Picasa album.

January 9, 2010: a lesson in procrastination

Less than 12 hours away from the first flight. I should be packing. I should be printing travel documents. I should be sleeping.

Instead, I've spent most of today visiting with friends and making rounds at the high school. I had lunch with Mr. Smith in the band room. I dropped in on Ms. Wenum and Dr. Slusser in the theatre. I made a quick trip down to Huckins to see Cindy and Buddy and give them the brochure for Haida, the yacht in Sharjah. I got my last Chick-Fil-A fix for 6 months with Brad. I've sorted my iPod music and prepped the PowerBook for a deep sleep. (I'm only taking the school laptop to Sharjah.)

Now, I'm procrastinating by updating the blog and skype-ing with Christopherrr.

I've officially hit the "just get me over there stage," and I'd preferably like to skip the part where I spend six hours in Houston waiting for a plane. (I've already dismissed the existence of this mythical flight to Dubai that lasts 15 hours.)

Perhaps I should now do the things in paragraph 1.

Nah, there's still time. A true Webbie waits.
