[ here I go ]

WELL IT'S HERE - time to say good-bye to this Muskoka phase of our lives. It's been such a special place - somewhere to relax, enjoy nature and reconnect when things get crazy. There's something about Muskoka that just wraps its arms around you and whispers "welcome home" in your ear.

But today is also about saying hello to a new phase of our lives - an adventure I never would have imagined, in a foreign land so far from family and friends. I'm a little scared, a lot excited and increasingly anxious to arrive in Dubai and settle in. I'm flying to Ireland tonight to meet my guy and then we're off! I'm so glad we'll be stepping onto Arabian sand together. See you soon!
