today was the big trip day, which was of great fun and suggest. I was up by 6:30 this morning to breakfast and ready to meet with the other teachers that where going with me. We head out on the hour and a half car ride, which I ended up falling asleep on about a third into it. Well after I woke up I found out we were in Madinat Zayed.
I then was able to get into my school, Al Hamdaniya, which was great. I was so excited to get inside and meet my CfBT head in my school. She was able to sit down and go over so of the question I had about the school and what I need to wear, and know. I was then able to walk around the school get an idea of the lay out and where my classroom might be. After that I was able to see what they think my schedule will be. About half way through the day another CfBT head from another school came by to meet with one of her LTs. 
With her help we were able to take a tour of the town. This was of great help to me and the other teacher that was with me. I was so excited since she took us places I never would have thought of going into. She showed us a fruit and vegetable market, so little restaurants that we could eat ate, a spa we could us, and stores that we can find appliances at. We were then taken to see where the park which is a great big park. The day was a great and I got to see so much and learn some much about my soon to be home.
Oh I also got to see the Apartments I am hopefully living in.
