Back in Sham - Year 3

Salaams to all our readers...Ramadhan Kareem to all.

Sorry for the long hiatus of not blogging, but last year there wasnt much to blog about but will iA blog more this year, hopefully there will be someone who will be reading :)

Our flight here was good ALhamd, we invested in a luggage weight scale, so we can know exactly how much our bags weigh before we go to the airport... GREAT INVESTMENT...even the lady at the checkin was impressed... so after that, our bags were checked in from TO all the way to Damascus, so we didnt have to worry about it. The flight from TO to London was not the most comfortable, if the person infront of you reclined their chair, the TV was in your face, almost literally... lol.. but we managed, then had a 3 hour break in London, where we stalked up on Dairy Milk and then made our way on BMI to Damascus... the plane was kind off empty so we both were able to sleep.

We landed in Dam around 945, went through immigration without any problems, Alhamd and got all our bags, ALhamd!! Then we took a taxi from the airport, they have raised the prices even higher... charged us 2000 pounds, over $40, because they said we needed a van, assuming that a smaller car would be cheaper... then we went to our new flat... its nice, much smaller then our old apt but nice... our old place was 3 bedrooms, however this one is 1 bedroom, living room and a small kitchen... both the bathroom and kitchen are quite small... the bathroom is such that the shower head is right ontop of of the toilet, kind of right on top, but no shower curtains, so when you shower, the entire toilet gets wet... will have to figure out a good system for that one!!

Just went to the Haram to greet and pay our respects to Sayyida Zainab AS.. that felt really good Alhamd... then came to the internet cafe to talk to family and update the blog... iA we will be doing it once a week, IA!!

It looks like there are A LOT of changes with our school this year, once we get some concrete details, will let you guys know, because it would only be fair :)

Please remember us in your prayers...
