On the Road Again.....Finally

It's been a year since my last blog https://hobbitsdinosaurs2025.blogspot.com when we traveled back to New Zealand with an extension to Bali and Indonesia. However, that is not to say that we have been idle. Au contraire. In August we did a self drive around Iceland (not to be confused with Greenland... Donald), followed by a cruise circumventing the island. In October we did a self drive in Spain focusing on the northern Basque region, with special attention paid to the wine and pintxos before finishing up in Madrid. Next up is a return to the Mideast. We will be concentrating our travels with a small group of 13 Canadians around the country of Oman with stops in Doha, Dubai, and an extension to the "Norway of Arabia" fjord region located in the Musandam Peninsula to the north. Why Oman? Why not? It's probably going to get us as close to Iran as we will ever be able to get to. Not to be outdone by Sarah Palin, "I can see Tehran from our day cruise on the Strait of Hormuz". Watch for the fashion photos of Jennifer wearing a hijab and the even more revealing burquini when we take a plunge into the Gulf of Oman. Hopefully my prayer rug from Amazon arrives in time. I hope you will be able to tag along, and I will do my best to get out a post every couple of days or so. استمر في السفر aistamira fi alsafar الله أكبر allah 'akbar God is Great
