pre-emptive post

in my ongoing quest to plan activities (wait, who knew i could do that? Seriously, that is nigel's job...)... anyway .... In my ongoing quest to plan activities, i am going to Oman tomorrow. We are getting picked up at 6am (OMG) and then heading to a whole different country. One with rivers and trees and mountains .... Really looking forward to it.

Below is the tour description.... i figured i might as well post it pre-emtively... so you would all know what i am doing this Friday. Photos, as always to follow.
