Spring Break in Oman!
I’ve spent spring break in Florida, Mexico and now I am happy to say I will be spending seven wonderful days in Oman! After a great internet search we booked cheap plane tickets for spring break. For thirty-seven and a half KD you too can fly round trip from Kuwait to Oman.
Don’t know much about Oman? At this point neither do I, however the beauty of living in a fishbowl of well traveled fish is that you are surrounded by fish or people that have been to or even lived in Oman. After listening to the fantastic travel stories of those swimming around me, hearing the love and joy in their voice as they spoke about Oman, I am looking forward to the adventure to Oman!
I like the journey from facts and images to actually feeling, seeing and tasting what a country is all about. I look forward to seven days of life in Oman!
