Hellish travels! Ode to Johnny Walker!

... capability. Eventually, I use my MagicJack to call back to the States to Skyline Global Solutions to contact someone in Saudi and everything gets sorted and in a matter of half an hour I'm in a taxi with a friendly, strikingly handsome Arab guy named Mohammad who taught me my first few words in Arabic. I'm get to the Boudl Hotel Suites on the airport road at about 2 am and thank my lucky stars that there is a large suite at the end of all of this! <br> <br>

Some pictures of my first weekend

... outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Diriyah was the original home of the Saudi royal family, and served as the capital of the first Saudi dynasty from 1744 to 1818. <br><br>Also, we visited the famous Kingdom Centre (and Tower) and went up to the Sky Bridge. is a supertall skyscraper located in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is the tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia and the 45th tallest building in the world with a height of 311 m ...

My arrival in KSA

... clinic with about a hundred Indian, Pakistani, Pilipino and Bangladeshi workers who were also having their medical. I was X-rayed, and a blood sample was taken along with a urine and stool sample. I was quite prepared for the first three requests but found that when I was asked for a stool sample I unfortunately got stage fright! I was told to go to one of the four toilets, without western-style seat, and squatted for at least 20 minutes as I tensed and squeezed to produce ...

Riyadh - day 1

28th...bought an abaya in Dubai. The young woman at the shop showed me how to put on the sheelah (the head scarf)...an hour later i asked another nice young Saudi lady in the waiting area to show me again, because i took it off and couldn't get it back on properly...there is a knack to it. Met her family while waiting...really lovely people. Her mother said not to worry about putting on the ...

Time to head home.

... passed through Mina and Muzdalifah, which if you're familiar with the annual Hajj rites, is where the large tent city is that the Hajjis stay in. Looking at the tent city, it is easy to see how perilous it could be if people try to have open fires, and while regretting the tent city fire a few years ago, one can only wonder that there haven't been more accidents. The scope of the public services necessary for accommodate the millions who come for ...

Outside Riyadh

When you are entering Riyadh from the east, you pass a lot of agricultural spots -- date farms, dairy farms, fields with modern irrigation equipment. Leaving the city heading west it's as if you have come to the edge of a vast cliff and are now headed down into an enormous valley. Our ears ...

Overnight in Riyadh

We reached Riyadh close to midnight. My husband's aunt's (by marriage) brother lives in Riyadh, and we usually sleep at their villa and have a meal before heading out again for the longer segment of our journey. Riyadh is a huge city; unfortunately it has only been a stopover point for us, we haven't had the opportunity to spend much time exploring. <br><br>After dinner and a night's rest we left, making a short stop at Starbucks for a Frappucino. I ...

Starting work

... a separate recovery of 2 bays for labour ward. Most of the time, they seem to work 1:1, although you might see 1:2 if they are really busy. There is a lot of paeds, 5 bays that they allocate especially for them. They never have LMA's in recovery, though - the doctors will always remove before transporting to us. Often you will find patients staying overnight or longer in recovery simply because there is no where near enough beds in the hospital. ICU patients -as ...

Prep

... takes 7 hours flying time. Not bad at all. Round trip ticket costs USD 3,000. Ouch! Whoever said "no pain, no gain" was absolutely right. Another mark of a really good trip coming, I agree. South America here I come!!! Hola mi amigos y mi amigas. See you there. Toot.... toot. Wait, do I know anybody in South America?!

Drive All NIght

Drive All Night After finishing a hard day's work, I rushed home to do some last minute preparation, then slept while Dawn organized things and got us ready to go. At 10 we left to meet up with friends; however, one friend forgot some things at his house, but we coordinated by having me go to Starbucks while he rushed home to grab his missing items. Finally, at 11 PM we were on the road. We drove through the night, winding our way through small Saudi towns looking for ...
