Home Hell-uah Home

Arabic word of the day: Hell-uah
Meaning: Sweet

After 36 hours of travel literally around the world we made it home. From Buraimi to Dubai, Dubai to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Detroit and Detroit to Indy, we had only one small hitch and a few extra hours, but still, we made it back!

In addition to my mom, brother and BFF being nearby, some of Jacob's family came up the next afternoon to join my family and our friends in celebrating our return and the day of mom's "double nickle" (55th Bday).

So, here's the quick update on all things Haramicana (my new name for things that are typically American and that might also be shameful - haram - or otherwise unavailable in the Middle East) so far:

Day 1- Mom, Dog, Pizza (with pepperoni, ham, sausage - all porky).
Day 2- More family, lots of friends, Bratwust (read: pork), and BEER and WINE (also, cruising in our '68 GTO to pick up ice cream cake that didn't melt!).
Day 3- Egg casserole with real, porky sausage, various outdoor activities with the families to take full advantage of the 70-some degree weather (whee! outdoor activities!)

Still on the docket:
Hair cut and style - yay, more family to be visited, lots of friends, outings, foods, drinks, sights, relaxations and otherwise fabulous times!
