2 Tina's?
Is there another Tina commenting? Because I see a comment posted today by "Tina" and I didn't write it. I'll start signing "Tiner" if it will minimize confusion. Hi Ted! Glad you're working hard. I wondered too about the Coke prices. Do they have their own canning/bottling facilities there? I suspect in US a lot of the cost of the product is for packaging/shipping, which means fuel which is expensive here. That's my theory! What's the cost of gas there?

Thank you for including me
Thank you for including me on your travels. Your blog is very interesting thus far I can't wait to read more!! :)

Say hi to Wolf for me!!
OMG...I haven't seen Wolf in 6+ years - say a big hello and give him a virtual hug for me :-) Lovely guy with a delicious spin on the world. With all those in-house amenities, we may be lucky to coax you back again, Ted! Sounds like you're having great fun exploring. HJ

Dhahran?
So I don't see Dhahran on your blog site's Saudi map. Where is it, geographically? Weather-wise, it looks like a great place to be today. But sunny Missouri is supposed to reach mid-50's today and 60's tomorrow. With all the comforts of home! Glad all is good . . .

6 am in Dallas
Glad to hear you arrived safely, Ted, and that the long-haul flight was cushioned (literally and figuratively) by Biz Class! It's fun to see the photos (I've always wondered what the Aramco compound looks like - post more of those!). Who's "in town" from PDI for the program?

Chocolate chip cookies - they must have known you were coming!
... and to think that us "coach" passangers have to pay $100 for a "snack pack" consisting of peanuts and pre-packaged cheese. Unfortunately, you still will not be running into Lindsay Lohan since she only travels first class. A quote from FoxNews.com from today: "The 22-year-old caused chaos while departing on a Delta Flight from Tampa, Fla. on Saturday morning when the airline was unable to provide her with a first-class seat on the already overbooked flight. According to an insider, passengers laughed as the starlet acted incredibly entitled (and embarrassed), stomped around and warned a friend traveling with her: "you'd better come and visit me back there in case I die." But fortunately for Linds, she didn't have to suffer the life-threatening ill of business or economy class as she was eventually moved into first following her entertaining tantrum."

Wow - Saudi Arabia! Stay safe and keep us updated on your blog . . what a great experience!

Hey Ted, I didn't know you were going, but hope you have a great trip. I thought it was a big deal that B,C and Lily are now in Orlando, B surprised her with this trip, but Saudi Arabia tops that. gail

Office chair
Not to worry you; but I think Marianne made off with your desk chair (and stapler). I'm sure she plans to return them both when you return. Have fun! Sarah - fellow PDI-er

Well done!
For a first timer, you are doing great! You see, it wasn't that difficult :) just load some pictures and some text and you're all set. Family and friends will do the rest... Enjoy (if time allows) your trip, and keep us posted. Ciao ciao, Cécile from snowy Brussels

Way to Go
Ted: For a blog you are doing damn well! It is a real, honest to gosh blog...better than many I have seen. Well done! Good luck on your travels...no strip searches and I look forward to updates. Your Loving Sister, Ellen
