We made it....we did it....now a week of decommissioning and we are home free. The whole experience was remarkable....from opening to closing ceremonies and all the sports in between. We watched a 4 x 100 relay where the time between first and second was 1/1000th of a second and we were of course at the track to see the men's world champion hurdler. Kevin took in some of the sports new to us like Sepektakraw and Habbadi.

Closing ceremonies were nothing short of spectacular with 15 minutes of grand finale fireworks. We spent two weeks hosting delegations from all over the world....who knows where we will end up next. Months of hard work became of "buffet of LOOK" for the world to see.

If all turns out with decommissioning this week, we should be in Dubai for Christmas! Not alot of sunshine this month. It has been the rainiest (word?) December on record. However, the long range forecast for Dubai is sunny and 23 degrees. We plan to hit the indoor ski slope at the Mall of the Emirates just to remind us of home.

Kevin will be home on the 27th for 10 days with a long list of family and friends to visit!

To all our friends and family, we wish you a safe and happy Christmas. Can't wait to see everyone in March.
