Thank your lucky stars

All good to go.  We are waiting in the lobby for our airport car.  All packed and looking forward to Dubai.

This morning in the buffet, we said good bye to the lady that has been bringing around the tea and coffee for the last three weeks, her name is Jennifer.  I asked her if she lived here. Jennifer said that the Hotel brings out staff from the Philippines - about 20 women and 20 men.  THey have been here for more than 2 years.  Jennifer said that she really misses her daughter who she has not seen for more than 2 years.  Jennifer is working here to give her only child, an 8 year old daughter a better life.  Darcy burst in to tears (I was choking the tears back too).  A sad story and a unimaginable sacrifice for her to make.  I am so thankful for my life.

Last night we had a few drinks with the Prof and other patients.  It was a lovely night.
See you from Dubai.  xxx
