Then they pull the rug out from under me and are sending us packing to Bahrain in August. Great. A whole new country. Whoop-de-freakin'-do. Manama, Bahrain. Where is that?
See that little dot right in the center? Yep. That's Bahrain. The 34 mile long, 11 mile wide clump of sand in the Persian Gulf. It also claims the unique honor of being the ONLY island nation in the Persian Gulf & wider Middle East.
I've been giving myself these little reminders. Just to prepare myself. Whenever I check the current southeast Idaho weather, I check Bahrain's.
Idaho:
Monday
68° F | 40° F
Bahrain:
| Monday | ||||
 86° F | 73° F |
It's especially fun when I check the weather at 11 o'clock at night and Bahrain's temp is 81F. Fun without the sun! If by fun you mean heat. *sweating*
But I'm not bothered. The housing book says that all houses are equipped with central air.
Alhamdula' freakin' llah!
P.S.
I think my kids have turned into wimps here in Idaho. It was almost 70F on Saturday, so I sent them outside. They all dragged themselves back inside, complaining that they were 'too hot'. Oh baby, are they in for a shock!!

Oh no! A big bombshell of a shock...
I've been there! I've been there! Only for a couple of hours, but still!
Hey, on the bright side, Bahrain is bigger than Nassau! :D Okay, maybe that's not really a bright side... Think of movie nights with the Cammocks. There's the bright side.
We are still feeling gypped .. sure wish you were landing here. :( For the record, it's 11pm and 72f here... whew! I better get used to this again, and fast!
Wow.. life moves fast. We nearly took a post in Bahrain after Egypt - I did a bit of research - it seemed pretty cool. Although I will admit it is always easier to go where you have a 'pal' to help you settle.
I don't miss the heat one little bit...
