oooohhhhh.the.excitement.

About 2 months ago I was told that the Eid Al-Adha and National Day holidays would be combined and we would get about a full week off work!!! This sounded rather lovely and I thought what better an opportunity than to go back home for a mini-holiday to see all my family and friends. I spoke to my mom who was 'over the moon' about the idea (because she misses my terribly!) and then my dad said that he would pay for my flights - even better!! Wow, I was so excited and I couldn't wait to get home again!!!
The only info we knew was that the date of National Day is on the 17th November and that Eid would be mid-November, depending on the moon sighting. Days and then months went by as I patiently waited to hear about what holiday we would get so that I could book my flights! Well True as Bob, yesterday (Tuesday, 10th November) we recieved the email stating the declared Eid dates and that National day holidays would be in December because the Queen is visiting on the 25th November and they don't want everyone to be on holiday when she comes to see the beautiful Sultanate of Oman. This really ruined ALL my plans and I was super bummed that my trip home wouldn't work anymore.

Hours later.....while on Skype with my mom deliberating wether I should come home this weekend, as in tomorrow (Thursday) and with my dad we dicided "YES - LET'S DO IT"
So, with the biggest smile on my face, I am so happy to say that I will be going home tomorrow for a week! This is going to be amazing and I can't wait to see all my friend and family. Yay Yay Yay! I'm busy confirming my flight and paying for it as we speak, getting my passport and getting ready to jet-set of to Durban, South Africa tomorrow morning at 5:00am.

South Afrcia here I come......
