Still waiting to hear when I will be leaving for Abu Dhabi. Paper work is in progress and I am told it will take at least 10 business days before my visa is ready. So I'm home longer then I thought.
I guess it's part of being flexible. When I interviewed for this job there was much reference to teachers being flexible. When chatting with other teachers in the UAE and reading their posts and blogs I understand flexibility and patience are greatly needed. So I am being patient and will be ready to leave whenever they tell me I have a ticket.
I still don't have a location, school or set grade yet but from my understanding all the new teachers who just went to the UAE don't know this information yet either. At least I'm not too far behind or out of the loop yet.
Hoping to get there sooner rather then later and actually get started. Hope my posts will soon start coming from Abu Dhabi rather then Newfoundland.

Not leaving on the 27th
Ok, so there has been a mix-up with my paperwork. It seems ADEC thought I wanted to delay my arrival until September so they didn't process my paperwork. This needs to be straightened out before I can head over. My flight is cancelled and only found out tonight; suppose to leave tomorrow at noon. Feeling sad that I was ready to go and now don't know when I'll be leaving, could be a week. Look at the bright side I guess, more time over the holidays with friends and family. I hope everyhting is fixed quickly and I can get over and get started. Feel a little like I'm in limbo here.

Got eticket
I have my eticket and am leaving on the 27th. Not too bad, some people had to leave on Christmas Day. I'm just about finished packing and am looking forward to some good weather for a change. It may be milder then usually here in Newfoundland for December but I am sooooo tired of all the wind and rain, enough already.

Paperwork done
Yay, paperwork is done and I have it all back in my hands. Filled out travel form and now waiting for ticket and exact date. Very excited and nervous all at once.
