My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Due to the late lifestyle here, we are learning to start our days a bit later as well. So, we made a leisurely start to our day in Granada. We stopped at a nearby Cafe for coffee and croissants. Then we headed for the number 30 bus to Alhambra. The bus climbed up the mountain side showing us a lovely view of the city below. Upon arrival we picked up our tickets to…

  • We had a very long sleep last night as we haven´t yet gotten used to the lifestyle of staying out late and without taking a siesta like the locals, we´ve been exhausted! So, we got up leisurely and then headed out to find Hertz to pick up our rental car to make our drive from Madrid to Granada. It was a bit of an adventure to walk and figure out how to get…

  • After a good sleep, or at least for me, we set out for the Palacio Real (Royal Palace). Of course, first thing is first in the mornings – coffee!

  • My mom, aunt and I set off at 6 this morning from my place in Abu Dhabi to start our travels. We made it to the airport without incident and all was surprisingly smooth for our flight to Amman on Royal Jordanian. After a short flight, we arrived in Jordan for a short layover. As soon as we stepped out of the plane I was loving the weather’s lack of humidity and a…

You will need a no-objection letter from your company, a copy of your passport, original driver’s license, residence visa, two passport-size photos, and a total of 200dhs. When you arrive…

  • Almost a year ago a drunken statement madePut into motion the uniting of our hearts.Though time would pass and plans waylaidTo keep us physically apart, Nothing could stop the emotions from colliding.Nothing could stop the tears from falling.Nothing could stop the aching.Nothing can stop the loving. Now we move forward at a rapid paceHoping for a future with each otherPlanning how to always be face to faceAnd knowing somehow we’ll find a way…

  • There was a time when I didn’t need to knowThere was a time when I thought the answer was clearThere was a time when I imagined it didn’t really matterIf I ever found you There was a time when I didn’t want to knowThere was a time when I thought there were no answers to fearThere was a time when I imagined it would only make me sadderIf I ever found you Now…

  • The sky is a perfect blueAs I make my way back to you. The clouds make a perfect blanket of whiteAs I imagine being in your arms tonight. The sun shines brightly through the windowAs I accept what my heart already did know – No matter how scared I might feelThese feelings we have are for real. -T~May 23, 2009
