The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Good news and bad news, everybody.

The good news, I found out today that women aren't allowed to visit graveyards in Saudi. Thank goodness. So noisy and irritating. They'd either wake the dead or seduce them. Better to keep them out altogether.

The bad news, thanks to Saudi fantasticness, I was called at 8am and told that I had an hour to decide if I wanted to leave on vacation after all, knowing that what with the visa process I almost certainly wouldn't be able to come back on time. Yay!

So now I'm staying here indefinitely.

No, seriously. The REAL good news is that thanks to some very nice people and an excellent nap I am no longer crying hysterically and dehydrating myself further. Now i'm making plans as to how much time to spend on my Arabic presentation.

Ciao everyone. Enjoy your family time. Sorry I'm not coming home.

But you never know. Perhaps there will be a miracle of some sort.
