Feb Happenings

Somehow, the month of February is always a bit of a blur.  Poor February.  So, with that I've decided to really focus on making the last 8 days of February really count!  (well, 9 b/c I started yesterday!)  I've got a goal to wake up by 6am every morning and fully utilize my day...which means I HAVE to be in bed and hopefully asleep by 11.  Yesterday was day one of my goal...and I succeeded!  Even woke up at 5am!!  So here's to the next 8 days.

So far this month, we've really been work oriented.  Me with teaching yoga all over town and studying french...and Joey with his work and training for a triathlon on March 3.   Funny how fast time goes by when you're going from one agenda to another with prep and planning.

Anyways, other than the work aspect, here's a few of our feb highlights:

The Dead Sea

After a month of being pretty complacent in Abu Dhabi, Joey and I decided we were in need of a little local adventure.

So off to Jordan we went...

After a 3.5 hour flight, we arrived in Amman, Jordan at 6:05 pm (2 hours earlier than AD time, which is 9 hours ahead of ET).  A friend of Joey's recommended his driver to us, so there at the airport we were greeted by some true Arab hospitality.  Bashar took us first to check into our hotel, then to explore the city and find a little dinner.  The next day we continued our exploration on Amman, then headed to the Dead Sea for a couple nights.

Here's some highlights from the trip:
