We are so excited to bring PIM to Bahrain, and to have the chance to spend some time in Dubai. Looking forward to having fun adventures, meeting interesting people, seeing tall buildings and sparse desert, and 75 degree weather! Thank you for checking out our blog. Also, if you want to check out our Europe trip 4 years ago, it's hosted on this same site at www.offexploring.com/jaimeandchad.

Mona Freidrichs (Mom-in-Law) To experience such a different culture. You do a great job describing your journey. Hope to see you and Chad soon. Hodge is doing well. Send some of that warm weather our way.
