Change of Plans!

OK, so here's the news. We are NOT going to Tunisia in the summer of 2006. We ARE going to Abu Dhabi on schedule in the summer of 2007.

The Department didn't want Jenny to leave while it is in the middle of reorganizing the foreign assistance organization. We agreed to stay another year so that Jenny could help with the reorganization. Steve will do his second year of Arabic language here in Arlington, not in Tunisia as previously planned. In summer 2007 (month TBD) we will go to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where Steve will be the Public Affairs Officer in the Embassy and Jenny...eh, we're still trying to figure that out...

Anyway, short version is that we're going to be around Washington for one more year. We are definitely sorry to miss Tunis -- a year with nothing to do but learn Arabic and watch the Mediterranean Sea slosh back and forth was not exactly unwelcome. But, c'est la vie, y'know? So...summer's here, grill's gassed up, and we got burgers. Yee-hah.
