Put On My Flying Wings!

Yes, it is time to put on my flying wings and travel again!

I swear, I think I was a bird in a previous life, or maybe a future super sonic!! I feel like I am in a flock of birds, migrating to the south in search for warmth. But I, do not necessarily follow the warmth always, I go west and north too, even in the winter time.

I just got back from Amman few days ago to visit my family. It was good to see them especially my mother. She looks and feels good; I hope she continues to enjoy her health for a long time. I would say the highlight of that trip was that I got to meet Kinzi and see Mala2e6 again, that was super good!! Now this surprise trip to Kuwait this afternoon and just for the weekend, should be nice too. On Thursday I am off to Chicago for ten days, only!

Traveling always gives me this sensation of excitement and happy anticipation, as if it is the first time for me! some trips more than others. Tomorrow’s trip is an exciting one since I will surprise my daughter and her family. I will be seeing the little angels and spending a day and a half with them, it is worth all the trouble of going through airport security and all the commotion of travel. All I care about is seeing them healthy and happy, and yes, get my endless supply of hugs and kisses.

It is not like this is my first trip to any of these places but I think I manage to get excited about it! I feel like a kid going to the amusement park, especially with my upcoming trip to the states, although short, but I am planning on taking advantage of every little second I am there. I mean ten days are not enough to get over my jet lag, but I will have to do all the things I want to do and see all the people I want to see, and yes, shopping too, the best part!!

Moving is in the horizon for me and my family…I did not expect to stay in Beirut this long, three and a half years is a record for my family to stay in one place! Time to pack house and move on, this will have to wait for another post.

Exciting and happy times awaiting me….I hope!
