This time tomorrow....

...we'll be in Glasgow! Yay! We leave the flat in Kuwait tonight at about 8.30pm and our flight out of Kuwait is at 12.55am. We're giving ourselves LOADS of time because word on the street is an expected 200,000 people (expats) are leaving Kuwait this weekend so the airport is expected to be mobbed. We've been waiting so long to go home now it's almost surreal to think this is our last day!  We will need to finish off packing and leaving the flat tidy. Somebody is moving into Sue's room today so there will be lots of activity as Anthony is leaving also. I'd quite like to have a couple of hours by the pool too to make the most of that then we'll have tea then get going! It would have been good to have a nap before flying because I can't sleep on flights so I'll be awake all night but I think our bed is being moved rooms for the new flatmate so I'll have to wait and see. See you at Glasgow airport tomorrow morning ;-)

Goodbyes

Started saying our goodbyes this afternoon. Our flatmate Sue leaves for Manchester tonight and we won't see Gita the maid again. A lady from work is coming over to the pool later so I'll get to say bye to her then. Definitely not as hard as leaving the Philippines as we've really not grown attached to anyone or anything here. However we thank God for our time in Kuwait and the purpose  that it served. 

Moon bathing

Last night Laurence and I walked into town to get last minute jobs done. We sorted all our money transfers, collected my antenatal notes and bought an extra case. By the time we got back to the complex we were boiling! It's still in the 30s or even 40s here at night! As we walked past the pool we decided to go for a late night swim. It was lovely! Nice to not have to worry about sunburn too. The water was warm and we watched the bats circling the pool area! I've been meaning to take a photo of the moon while I've been here as sometimes it's a really thin crescent shape like you see on some of the Arabic flags but I forgot so the one I've posted is from Google! :-D

Milestone!

Leaving meal

We went out last night with an English girl I know from work and her Kuwaiti husband. They recommended a restaurant called the Slider Station which was great. The food was quite different and we shared American tapas then cake pops and chocolate fondue for dessert. We then went to a cafe for coffee with their friend from Dumfries & Galloway. It's a different world in Kuwait when you have access to a car. Just driving to the restaurant in the city I realised how little of Kuwait we've experienced and I think with a car and friends in the know I could even like it here! Lol

Laurence was very excited to have his picture taken in Sarah's orange Hummer!

This week at school will be very slow as we have no children and nothing in the classrooms. However it's a week to wind down and we get paid for literally nothing! 

24 weeks

Starting to feel quite big now although I feel fine which is great. I can feel the baby moving around a lot now which is very weird but amazing!

Not long now!

Only 16 days until we go home yay! I have a day off today for an Islamic holiday then two weeks of school to get last minute paperwork and packing up done. Not many children are in so I only take one lesson a day and have one break duty, it's great! We have a checklist of things to do though before the school will release our last pay so that's keeping me busy. 

We're so excited about going home :)
