Suspicious summer clouds and strong winds but no rain in Muscat Am leaving Oman next week heading to San Diego. After 14 months of hard work and saving money, am all set for my first solo trip. My fears? Well, besides the fear of missing my flight at Frankfurt's massive airport, am really worried about my backpack. Many travel bloggers suggest travelling light, but how light? The feeling of missing something important is haunting me. My next blog will include what's in my bag. From the day I started working for the Times of Oman newspaper I didn't get any long holiday, now am super excited for my first one. My parents don't necessarily agree with me, but who cares? you only live once, eh?
