Un Noël International!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!  I so miss everyone and wish everybody the very best holiday season.  Just a little note:  yes, I did work on Christmas Day :(  But thanks to Hangout and Skype, I'm now having video sessions with loved ones back home in between blurts of writing this blog.



As for my fellow management team, we stay connected with WhatsApp - It has to be the most popular App in the world as texting is not unlimited everywhere else like it is in North America.  It's kinda cool to have co-workers off for their Christmas vacation in all parts of the world:  Sabi is back home in Berlin and sent us a video message of a light show he attended (attached below) and John and his family who hail from Louisiana are holidaying in Iceland and posted pictures of the northern lights and icebergs.  Who goes to iceland in the middle of winter!!


Kevin and Eduardo are still on duty with me, so to get some sense of Christmas, we participated in a InterNation Christmas supper at The Steakhouse in Jubail last night.  21 people from 9 different countries.  The majority were doctors from both Greece and Portugal.  Small World Moment: I sat beside Dmitry (Jimmy the Greek) from Alberta!  Coincidently, he was born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan (my High School town) and works in the camp industry and knows my friend, Gary Fortier, who is also in that industry in Canada.  He's pictured with his wife Victoria from Ukraine below.



Cheers and have one on me as KSA is a dry country!
