Julie, Nicolas and Vincent made it safe and sound to Kuwait early Sunday afternoon. They left Toronto shortly after lunch on Saturday; we were very happy to see that their plane took off despite the weather. Their trip to Cairo was fine, then after a few hours between flights, they were on their way here. We didn't do much on Sunday as they were pretty tired (an 18 hour flight and layover, plus 8 hours difference will do that to you!). On Monday, we went to Fahaheel (a suburb near our apartment) for lunch and to walk around. We had lunch in a typical small restaurant and visited a small souk and a mall before walking along the beach for a while. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant, then came home and played cards a bit. It was a very nice day, fun to be all together finally. It is so cool to see our kids here in Kuwait with us. They find it very different than what they are used to (and rightly so!). We are planning on doing more touring tomorrow. The plan is for them to get rid of jetlag before we head out to Africa on Thursday night. They should be fine.
On a final note, we take this occasion to wish you, from far away, a very Merry Christmas.
