After 16+ hours of traveling, Russ, Nic, & Katie arrived safely in Bahrain. We flew 8 hours on United to Frankfurt, had a 2 hour layover with a fairly easy transfer (no customs or anything) and boarded a Gulf Air flight for 6 more hours. The kids and I love Gulf Air--they know how to take care of customers! We arrived to 104°F heat at 7pm in Bahrain. Karla picked us up at the airport, and shortly after we were swimming in her apartment pool. So far, Karla's been working regular hours and enjoying dinner with the family.
Last night we went out to a restaurant and then went rug shopping at Oasis Carpet. Abdul (the owner) is very friendly and warm. The kids enjoyed juice and running all over the shop. We bought an 8-foot circular carpet, plus 2 other little rectangular ones Karla has been "test-driving" in her apartment for a few weeks.
We're loving being a family again! More adventures to follow...

Hurray!!!! I"m sooo happy for all of you. Can't wait to see more!
I have tears in my eyes seeing this. I know what it's like to not be together and how great it is to be together. Karla must be in heaven after being away from home! Home is where your family is, you know, so she is "home" for a little while, as are all of you!
This is so GREAT!!I hope you all enjoy every minute. Give Karla a hug from us.
