Waiting, waiting and more waiting...

Since my last post I've finished all my medicals, received final approval and found out who my trainer is! I joined the Facebook group for people joining Emirates in April/May and it's sooo helpful. It's a nice way to meet others in your group and ask questions if you don't know something, I definitely recommend joining! Since receiving FA it's just been a waiting game which I HATE.. I did not get a job upon coming home from Aruba in December so I've been filling my time traveling around to visit my sister, future brother-in-law and nephew in Texas, throwing my best friend's bachelorette party in Las Vegas and attend her wedding in Seattle, and a visit to family in Oregon to say goodbye before I leave since I won't get another chance. It's definitely prepared me for a hectic life flying since I've been on almost 30 different flights in the past few months!! Here's what I've been doing the last few months:

Visiting friends back at school

My nephew Karsten :) HE'S SO CUTE

Crazy fun weekend in Vegas

Tri Delta bridesmaids 

My favorite little peruvian Brinny 

Besides that I've been working some at my dad's office, working out, watching Netflix (I am completely obsessed with Downton Abbey and The Tudors now) and reading up on as many things as I can about Dubai!! I've found quite a few other cabin crew members with blogs and it's so fun to read them and see what my life will be like in just 44 days!! Thankfully I have enough money from selling my car last week that I'm going to be able to go on a month long trip before I leave to visit people, so I won't be completely useless for much longer. One week in Aruba to see my best friend and soak up the sun, then a few weeks in the Netherlands to see my boyfriend and my other Dutch friends from Aruba. I can't wait!! And I just bought an actual camera today so I'll have plenty more pictures from those trips to share when I get back. Only 14 days until I leave for Aruba/Netherlands then back for 2 days then I LEAVE FOR DUBAI!!

Start of my new life!

Hello! For my friends and family that are reading this you know that I've accepted a job as a cabin crew member in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (not in India as some people think :) ) and will be leaving for it on April 25th! Words can't even describe how excited and lucky I am to have this opportunity for such an amazing job that will allow me to travel the world, live abroad and meet so many new people. It's been my dream to travel and see the world ever since I was little and  had my Uncle sending me postcards about his travels around the world for his job. I remember it being the highlight of my week to receive those postcards and now it's my turn to see the world too!! This is especially exciting for somebody like me who comes from a very small town and has never really had the opportunity to travel. So enjoy my probably all too often over enthusiastic blogs about my new life for the next 3 years :) Here's just a few pictures to help everybody picture where I'll be living soon, ciao dushis!

65 days :))))
