Weeks in Jeddah

... out quad bikes and I paid about three dollars to drive one up and down the corniche a few times with my sister-in-law on the back.<br><br>After breakfast we drove along the corniche to look at all the different monuments and the water, and new developments being built -- mostly restaurants and recreational parks. At the end we stopped at the large fish market, which unfortunately does not allow photography. There were some amazing fish for ...

Heathrow London!!!!

Arrived at last on UK don't care if its freezing cold, if its snowing, if there are gales, even 5ft of snow I don't care.......I'm just happy that I am safe...didn't really want to say how much I was frightened the last few days and didn't want people to worry but the tears of relief when that plane took off I have never felt before ...

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!!

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 ...

First full day in Jeddah

... like a teacher so no I'm not going to massage your foot and if you want a packet of crisps go get them yourself!!! As I say start as you mean to go on, if I ran round after the boys on my first day then my life would be hell!! They know where I stand and that I am not a servant to them. They go to bed at a good time 7.15pm/8pm and have been told that if I want to go out in the evenings then that is fine I just need to tell the driver and he will take me and pick me ...

Speed Run on Jeddah!

... lol) and of course my all time favorite for the flavor of old Yemen, Souk Al Yeman, and Souk al Yumama - for gold... Had some terrific meals, and met with many friends, and can only note that the ongoing urban development, the quality of the new construction and the concerted effort at creating a solid IT infrastructure for all residents of Jeddah is commendable. The new buildings are the dream of great architects, a must see.

"The Beginning of my journey...Being Modifa"

... be carried on, proceeded to its destination without the F&amp;B service... it's ONLY available to add qualities &amp; advantages of a business -- a headway. It's like flowers that added beauty to the dinner table! ;&gt; Being a "Modifa" or FA is like a soldier. We can never be sure if we can come back after one flight or not. That's the fact, we can never be sure. This job is too risky. Flying everyday, catching one flight after another, pushing &amp; pulling the heavy ...
