The Tangled Adventuress: 10 days before Goodbye California, and Hello UAE!
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/08/10-days-before-goodbye-california-and.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Monday, August 1, 2011. 10 days before Goodbye California, and Hello UAE! My tickets to Abu Dhabi have arrived, and I leave on the 11th of August. I'm thrilled to have everything settled (or nearly - the documents are in process from the State Department, but are actually in process this time) and ready to be on my way. August 7, 2011 at 8:55 AM. Been there once, and loved it. Remember I will be on your blog to hear every adventure. I'm an avid knitter, a ya...

The Tangled Adventuress: And away I go!
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/08/and-away-i-go.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. And away I go! I'm leaving in less than 12 hours for the UAE. I'm so happy, and overjoyed that it's finally happening, although there is a slight bitter-sweet quality to my departure. I have some wonderful friends in my life, and I will miss them and my family dearly. More quirky than I had thought. I have some amazing friends. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Who is the Tangled Adventuress? I'm an avid knitter, a yarn addict, ...

The Tangled Adventuress: Living in Al Ain
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/10/living-in-al-ain.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Sunday, October 2, 2011. Living in Al Ain. Sorry I've been so silent! I keep meaning to blog, and then life and work overwhelm me. Besides, I've been pretty laid back. I've moved to the beautiful city of Al Ain, which is about a 1 1/2 from Abu Dhabi and the same from Dubai. Al Ain is called the Garden City, and rightfully so! Once I'm finished I'll do a virtual tour! My love to you all! October 6, 2011 at 2:19 PM. Are you coming home for Christmas? Who is th...

The Tangled Adventuress: Getting Settled, but still not quite there
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/08/getting-settled-but-still-not-quite.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Sunday, August 14, 2011. Getting Settled, but still not quite there. I can hear the call to prayer in the distance, which is amazingly beautiful and song-like, it echos throughout the city (all the different mosques provide a call to prayer). The hotel is lovely, beyond lovely, and everyone so kind. Here's a few pictures I've taken so far. View from the Hotel Room. Lots of Construction going on. August 15, 2011 at 8:05 AM.

The Tangled Adventuress: A Day in The Desert
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/08/day-in-desert.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Sunday, August 21, 2011. A Day in The Desert. Before I move away from the luxurious disconnect of the hotel, I thought I would indulge in some tourism of the land I will call home for at least the next two years. A group of teachers found a wonderful tourism group that takes you out on a desert safari. We were picked up from our hotel, placed in big, white SUVs (the national car here, I think), and driven deep into the desert. We continued our rollercoaster ...

The Tangled Adventuress: Waiting, waiting, waiting.
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2011/07/waiting-waiting-waiting.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Waiting, waiting, waiting. That's all I'm doing lately. I have to wait for my documents to come back from the State Department, to wait for city assignment (Abu Dhabi or Al Ain? Wait for my e-ticket. All this waiting makes me nervous for what can go wrong. This great adventure is just on the horizon, and so until I leave in August, anxiety just hovers. In the meantime, let's talk yarn. More yarn pics to come (when I take some good shots!

The Tangled Adventuress: One Year, One Month, and 9 days
http://tangledadventuress.blogspot.com/2012/11/one-year-one-month-and-9-days.html
Life, Travel, Teaching, and most of all, yarn. Sunday, November 11, 2012. One Year, One Month, and 9 days. That's how long it's been since I've even touched this blog. How embarrassing. I found that while I really wanted to use this format to keep in touch, I still prefer emails and phone calls. I feel that my expressions come across more clearly. However, when it comes to photos, only a blog will do! Here are a few photos of the UAE I've captured since I've last blogged. View of Al Ain from Jebel Hafeet.
