After all the fighting, un organization, bad communication, and the total Chaos of visiting Aqaba every weekend. I feel a pinch in my heart leaving for the last time. The butlers drove me crazy, the philippine female butlers drove me crazier, and my high blood egotistical chefs were enough for any one to jump off a cliff.

But I survived in this highly energetic, insane atmosphere. Thank you! Your Majesty's for a wonderful  life time experience in your country. From Start to finish. People should thank God everyday for they have been given. We have been blessed with the journeys bestowed on us. "Thank you"

Aqaba is located on the borders of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, a port town bountiful tourist attraction for mostly europeans. Diving, fishing are spectacular. Mountains jetting out surrounding the scenic stomping ground of Lawrence of Arabia.

I will miss these Characters!

Good Bye Aqaba Jordan

Amman Jordan Adventure

I do apologize that we haven't blogged in 2 years, i will continue to blog and keep all of you updated. In fact we have missed you terribly.

We began my journey to Jordan in August of 2012. Being a little nervous for this particular adventure, the team of Candy, Cedric and I turned down a fantastic opportunity in Chicago. It was heads or tails decision.

The final decision was to take the Jordan Gig, I mean who gets to work for a king and Queen? This was exciting and hey this is life, you only live once. Right?

Coming from a non profit organization (Second Harvest Food Bank) this would be literary going from  fathom to feast. Working with the utmost unfortunate barely receiving a meal a day to working and cooking for the King and Queen of Jordan.

This was to  be one of many cultural adventures that the entire family had to endure. Were we crazy?
For 10 year old Cedric it would be starting over in unfamiliar waters starting a new school so he was enrolled in the Modern American School, a school for rich Jordanian kids who wish to excel in English. It was a challenge at first but he eventually fit in, he is the little politician.

For Candy her challenges were more personal. I thought Candy was a great driver and by right she never had an accident (Knock on wood) I don't think my Candy was happy, this adventure was a little over the edge. 2 accidents with Jordanian men who know no English, and this was the first week we arrived.  Poor Candy. When you get into an accident, the person in blame must pay a 45JD and wait for the police. This 45JD is proof of innocence. Candy is a trooper  going thru this. New land, New Culture and customs. Proud of you Mummy!
