fire alarms & adapters Love reading your blog entries Lex, sounds like you're settling in & enjoying yourself. I had to laugh about the "fire alarm" as it reminded me of good old Stewart Hall days, fire alarms going off 3-7x in 1 night!! Did you ask the front desk what it was? As for the adapter, I have a story for you...when I was in Germany a few years ago my roommate & I plugged in our adapter in & we knocked the power out in the house...good times!! Have fun exploring! :)
Welcome...sort a Glad you and your stuff made it there safe and sound! I'm sure you're sleeping soundly in your bed right now, as you should be!! Hopefully the Fugro staff welcome you warmly!! :)
fun It's good you get to see everyone before you leave! :) I'm sure they are happy to send you off, but sad they won't see you for a couple years. Just like the rest of us...
Rest up, and enjoy your traveling over the next couple days! :)
Awesome! I wish I could have partaken in the celebrations to see you off! I wouldn't know any of that amazing group of people if it weren't for you dragging me out for a couple happy hours after I left the ex. You're one of the only people who knew be before I left him, and after, and I cherish that!! You've been such an amazing friend to me, and I truly hope your desert adventure is great, not only because you deserve to be involved in great geotechnical engineering projects (duh), but also because you've been wanting to travel for so long, you deserve for it to rock some serious akole!! (ass if you don't speak Hawaiian) Be safe, enjoy every moment, and I'll see you when you come back...for that's about the time I'll be done with school! I love you Alexis!! Can't wait to see some awesome pictures and hear your amazing tales of life in the Middle East!!

I was an engineer on a long term assignment, first in Dubai and then in Qatar. During this time, I took advantage of my nice paycheck and proximity to other places to start seeing the world. After three years, I decided to take a much earned break and traveled for a year. After working about two years in New York State, I am on my way back to Dubai.... full info
