Sometime Saturday Morning in PrimeClass Lounge

I made it to Istanbul, after having to retrieve my checked bags in Cairo. I still don't know why - other than two airline employees that wanted tips for "helping" me. A bunch of crooks I think! Two hours here then to Ankara.

My Saudi phone is now off line and I`m back on my US number.

Friday Night in Riyadh Egyptair Lounge

Another night in the air - this time to Cairo then Istanbul. Hope my luggage follows, since I clear customs, find the domestic terminal, and get right back on a plane to Ankara.

I'll be ready for a shower when I get there.

Friday Afternoon - Leaving Riyadh

Leaving the apartment soon for a 11pm flight to Cairo, 2 hour layover there, then onto Istanbul to arrive at 6am. Just love these overnight flights! After that, clear customs and a 9am flight to Ankara, then it's Saturday - I think! Sometime after that I will be at the Best Hotel in Ankara - it may not be the best hotel, but it's close to the seminar, and the Best Hotel! What??? http://www.besthotel.com.tr/

Wednesday Morning in the HNC Offices

It's hot and dry here in Riyadh, but flooding back home - talk about feeling helpless from far away! TRH is a little wet in the basement, but that is all. Lets hope the electricity stays on, so the sump pump keeps working, so it doesn't become a swimming pool down there. Deborah is in PA, the Puppies are in WV, and I am here - so TRH has to defend itself!

A couple more days here, then a midnight flight thru Cairo to Istanbul and then on to Ankara Saturday morning. I teach there Mon-Ths, make a presentation back in Istanbul Saturday morning, and get back to TRH late Sunday night July 9. Whew!

Monday Afternoon in the HNC Offices

It's hot here! At 7:30am this morning I got in my car, and the steering wheel was too hot to hold on to - I ended up driving with only my finger tips touching the steering wheel. Think how hot the air was in the car!!! I'm thinking about leaving some eggs in the car overnight so I can have boiled eggs for breakfast. Driving with only finger tips is not a problem, because everybody drives crazy here anyway.

Next week in Ankara high's will be in the 80's -- I may need to wear a coat.

We've now decided on training dates for 2007 in Riyadh - about 10 two-day courses. It looks like lots more trips to Saudi Arabia - I need more Americans to come over hear and teach!!

Friday Night at the Al Hamra Palace

I knew I was back in Saudi when it was 112 degrees at 6pm when I landed. And it is likely to get hot before the week is over!

Thursday Afternoon in the BA Lounge

Leaving now for Riyadh via London. After just 18 hours on planes I'll be there! Just found out that the original Sheltie, Ruby, died last night at 18 years old - SAD! I hugged Quince and Hydro extra hard.

Monday Night in Rainy Houston

I'm here for The IIA International Conference making a couple of presentations. Then back home for Wednesday night before going to Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Friday Afternoon in LGA Airport

Finished in NYC now and on way to Austin and Houston. After that, back to TRH for a day.

Monday Morning - Back at TRH

Home for a week, then to NYC followed by Houston, Riyadh, and Ankara. Diving in Turks and Caicos was good - sharks, moray's and turtles!

Saturday Leaving T+C Island

The boat ls finally back in phone range - 20 dives in the week and lots of fish.
