Day 2 Chapter 1

Where shall I start today.  It has been one of those strange days with odd jobs to do but still plenty of time to vegetate.  No - the packing is not done yet, just piles of items in different locations waiting to be united in the cases.  The main priority was to sort out the camera equipment, charge batteries, clear memory cards, find the forever vanishing leads etc.  I did get the insurance sorted, pretty good value too.  Thank goodness for SKYPE, long distance calls are a breeze and just to make sure the insurance was as accurate as possible phoning them seemed to be the easiest option.  I wonder how often one phones an insurance company, asks to speak to the person they spoke to yesterday and is immediately put through.  Keep everything crossed we don't need to contact them again <g>.  Tonight is our last night in the KSA for a while, we set off for Bahrain at midnight tomorrow for an early morning flight on the 28th to Dubai and then onto Brisbane, arriving at our first destination at 6:30am on the 29th.
