I'm finding it hard to even compose a cohesive paragraph. I so want write a better post and give this new news justice, but my brain power is failing. And let's face it, Christmas is 8 days away, so that means I don't have any presents wrapped, my laundry is lurking in the basement planning mutiny, and I'm just not clever enough to balance it all.
Without further ado, our change of plans is just that, a change of plans. Turns out we're not really going to Amman, Jordan. We are going to . . . . *drumroll*
Manama, Bahrain
Surprise! Now you know why that muppets song was stuck in my head. Great, now I get to listen to it in there for 3 years. Move over Roberta and Carlos, you have a new friend. Forecast for Manama December 17th, 2009: High 71F (21C) Low 62F (16F) Humidity 68% Chance of precipitation 20% (water equivalent of 0.05 in) Water equivalent? What the heck does that mean? What's the 'equivalent' of water? Powered potatoes? Oh well, I hear we may get a villa. Whoopee!

Those temps don't sound half bad...
We went there for christmas a few years ago. One blogger i read (i'll have to check which one) used to live there and seemed to really enjoy it. There's a huge formula one race there every year, malls, good bars... Admittedly i was only there for a week or so but it seemed nice.
When are you leaving? Didn't you just get back to the states?
Oh my! So much for that one year unaccompanied helping to get you a great new post. Wow, I know you all will make it good but I am sorry about Amman. Enjoy the snow now and seeing Spencer soon.
@emily: it was only one year here while spence is in iraq. we take what we can get.
Not fair! Not fair! We wanted you to come here! :( I hope to hear about your adventures in Bahrain, but we'll miss not sharing them with you in Amman.
