Marriott Jeddah

... however, the complete disregard of lanes or lane guides, and the folks who frequently make a left hand turn from the far right lane across four lanes of traffic. But it is loud, and colorful, and if you're not in a hurry to get anywhere can be interesting to watch. We always cause a stir because of our Emirati license plates, with people honking as they pass and/or staring. <br><br>One morning we decided to take the kids to the corniche and ...

... It was a feeling I have never experienced in my life and don't want to ever experience that feeling again. On 12.45pm flight tomorrow out of London and in the Sheraton just now drinking free wine!!!!! See you all soon and my friend in Jeddah those I met and those I didn't get a chance to meet, one day we will meet up again I promise.

At airport she has booked me on the flight tonight from london so I will have to stay in London over night and get a flight Sunday. She was really horrible this morning never even told me about my flights she left the house with not saying a word gave my passport to the guard and told then not to give me it till I was through immigration!!!! Think she sent the most run down car she could find to take me ...

Well I hope I will be on a flight tomorrow Saturday, finger crossed as yet I have not been told anything, not been given my passport back with exit visa, tickets etc etc. But the agency assures me it will be OK tomorrow!! The last few days have been very scary for me and very worrying as you hear so many stories, I just don't know if I ever want to come back it has been an experience to say the least.......mmmmm might write a book ...

Well I had a day off yesterday!!! I know someone who was working in Jeddah and I tagged along with her to the beach, it was just so nice to get out and be free!! Oh but I had to be back for 10/10.30pm (I felt like I was a teenager again being told what time I had to be back for, even though it was my day off!!!) But hey ho I was free for the day.i had a great time just doing nothing, we then went for pizza after wards and watched the thunder storm and the rain....yes it rained here lat ...

Sorry I have not done much on my Travel Pod but not really got the heart or mind to do it maybe after a week or so I might!! Need to get a leats a few photos before the end of March. At least I can say it was an experience and it will make me stronger as a person.

... I am not a Prince or Princess I am just a worker and employed to do a job. It amazing how these people live as the maids they have sleep in rooms outside the main Palace, but within the palace walls but there is like 3/4 to a room in bunk beds. I am going to make it work as I am looking forward to the future at getting my mortgage paid off and also having the money to do some more traveling that I love doing, think I will do the 2 years like I had said to myself ...

Making a speed trip on Jeddah can be challenging at the best times. I arrived right after Umrah visas had closed for the year, and on the onset of the Hajj visitors. Jeddah has become a modern city, not without its challenges, but a vast improvement from when I first started going there 23 years ago. Highlights, the Corniche, Al Segeoul restaurant; the Dinner Boat, The Red Sea Mall, Al Andalus, (great Cappucino NOT at Starbucks ...

... it was amazing. i cant describe it to you but it was so beautiful and peaceful. hopefully i can put the pics up here soon. trying to get to the old market place and have a few odd jobs left on my to do list! but the really good news is that there is a wake boarding place five mins away from me at home so hopefully i i will still get to do that! missing you all like crazy and wont be long till I'm in the pub with you! save some beer for me keep in touch xx xx

... toward the royal family for siding economically with America in the 'war against....'. We were doing a private show for members of the Saudi royal family on a huge stage built temporarily on the lake in Jeddah. Moments before the show one of the German laser technicians came to us and told us about political tensions with terrorists in the area, warning us to stay in the hotel or use its private beach and not to go into the city, let alone on a sightseeing trip ...
