So, I finally arrived to my residence for the next few days. Once we landed at Muscat Airport it was a very discombobulated few hours waiting for Passport Visas, and getting a ride to the hotel. I was the only one on my bus going to Haffa House, Everyone else was heading on to the Al Bandar which sounds delightful, but at $358.00 it is a little more delightful than my wallet. >.> I made it up to my room, and just CRASHED at around 3 pm which would be why I am now writing @ 1 am in the m...

I did my delegate's report yesterday. Whew! So glad I managed it ok. Today we have a half day of meetings, then we're going to the Royal Cavalry here for a parade, and then another dinner. There was a dinner last night as well, but I was just bone tired and opted to skip it and go to bed early. I don't know how the rest of the delegates are doing it. We're in meetings from 8 -5 pm and then we have to RUN and change for dinners that last till 10 or 11 pm. All this social activity is just exhau...

Feb 6th 2009, So, Here I sit in Muscat Airport, waiting for my flight. We were all told last night, that we needed to be ready at 7:30 am to be taken to the Airport. Mad frenzy of packing later, I fell into bed at 1 am with a 5:30 wake up scheduled, I got up, did a last check, and was downstairs by 6:30 for coffee. 7:50 am rolls around and they came to pick us up. Except... I was apparently not told that I was rescheduled for the 3:30 pm flight. So I got up a 5:30 am for no reason at all. I r...

This was my first trip to Oman and since there were no visa complications I decided to take my wife Latha along. The BA flight into muscat was unventful and smooth and so was the Visa handling at the airport. Our first look at muscat on the way to the hotel confirmed to us that we were looking at a place quite different from the ones we are used to in the Middle East. The roads seemed to go in between rows of hills/ mountains / hillocks alternately and it was quite extraordinary. The city is ...

... which needs constant<br>watering. The few “neighbourhood” areas such as Ruwi, Muttrah, and old Muscat, can be<br>explored in about an hour each. Having done the former two yesterday, I went to old Muscat<br>today. It is mostly government buildings, the Sultan’s Palace, and a few traditinal houses,<br>but as it is Friday today, everything was closed, including the two museums, and it was<br>completely dead. After wandering ...

... views of palm trees and cliffs surrounding my vision, thinking that at this point in time I could not think of a more perfect place. It was a true oasis. However, we weren't alone for to long as a bunch of nosiy boys decided to show off jumping in from the rocks above. Hiking back out, with a wet white towel wrapped around my head to keep me cool, we came across a large tour group heading into the Wadi, and we were glad ...

... sizes and states of repair, a legacy of the Portuguese. We were keen to reach Muscat before dark but dusk was approaching as fast as we were, which made finding the hotel a little tricky. We managed it after a couple of wrong turns and were greeted at the Crowne Plaza hotel like royalty. Even the duty manager (Cedric, French) came rushing out to inform us we had been upgraded to the executive club and in our room was an enormous fruit basket, bottle of wine ...

... he told me that. To make matters worse, he let his friend start driving, and started drinking a large quantity of beer. As a Muslim living in the UAE, probably without a liquor licence, there is no way in heck he should have been doing that. It was illegal, and from his own religious standpoint, immoral. But I was pretty much horrified when he offered one to the driver. The driver said, "But I'll only have one". Right, and there are no ...

... to this grocery store in Muscat not far away from my hotel and put enough food on the counter to fix me a few meals. The man working there engaged in a very friendly conversation, which is so typical of Omanis, and we chatted for a while when he asked me where I was from. He was so delighted I was from Canada that he categorically refused that I paid for the food. I politely declined his offer, explaining I could easily afford it but he insisted. In a final ...

... marble... 3 floors... just like a mini-palace. I was also very happy to see my puppy again. I wonder if she will snuggle with me tonight. But more importantly, she remembers who i am and was very friendly and cuddled with me on the couch. So i am here for 2 weeks, before i head back to Calgary. I hope to enjoy Muscat, and take day trips out to Dubai. -Rob
