Cottage at Bradenton Beach

This last trip back to Abu Dhabi from being in the U.S. really felt like a trip through the portal!

and it is looking like this may be the last time! The glamour of living this expat life seems to be wearing a little bit thin these days. Sometimes it is difficult to describe what life is like and the challenges I experience. I don't keep in touch the way I would like to with everyone at home. However, there are so many things I love about my life in Abu Dhabi, most of all, the friends I have made!

It will be hard to give up some of the great perks that come with living in the UAE. One of my teacher friends here sent a link to this blog which sums it up pretty well and answers some FAQ such as "What do you do for fun?" and "Is it safe?" etc.
But it kind of feels like the thrill is gone a little bit and my current contract is definitely up at the end of December.
The problem is: What's next???
That is the question I keep asking myself and don't seem to have a clear answer to as yet.
I have been told that when one door closes another will always open...so I am curious to see what will happen!
I would like to live somewhere green and serene...
and near a beach!
