That was one hell of a drive! Over 750 Kilometers traveled and I head my foot to the floor the whole time! I lost count how many cops in Saudi I flashed! We left Kuwait around 10:30am and got to Damaam by 1:30pm and of course with my driving and navigation skills in this area I was going no where fast! hehehe

I have a lot of pictures to put up and we had very little time to do anything last night! Our meeting went for about 4 hours, so by the time we left we only got to Kuwait by 10:30pm and I had to make a quick stop at work to finish up some work before leaving the next day as well!

Didn’t get home until 12:30 am and I had to pack for my flight the next day! I passed out! I woke up the next morning with all my paperwork still open! I passed out without realiziing how tired I was.

I’m going to be doing the driving but the navigation will be done by my boss with me.

Distance: 290 KMs

ETA: 3.5 hours

My ETA: 2-2.5 hours

Essentials:

• Saudi Riyals (For Speeding Tickets)

This is going to be an interesting day, we will be coming back the same day, I’m curious what time we will be back. I’m not sure what time we are leaving but sooner rather then later.

*Note: This kind of traveling can only be done in a Landcruiser those who think it can be done in any other vehicle are kidding themselves!

Did a lot today at work and it still didn’t finish the world load I had. So after finishing up work I came back home for a quick bite to eat to replenish my energy. After resting for a bit I went to my grandmothers for a little visit and from there I went home to relax. I had a few things I wanted to do!

I was happy I got to watch Baki: The Grappler and Godannar! I wanted to finish this anime since I have been watching over a year now.

I felt that my battery was running low towards the end of the night, and so I just some herbal tea before passing out. I got a long drive ahead of me next morning!

After a long time of riding and being extremely thirsty sometimes I want something different, and its not water or a soda. Then I got a cup of lemonade and that really satisfied me! Who doesn’t love lemonade with their own type of twist in it and if you are craving one, it is just so damn good. After being so thirsty from riding the Lemonade goes down so smoothly. The right amount of sweetness, coldness, and slight mint mix!

We got a few things on the list to complete and for that to be done we need to travel to two or three countries at this point. So we have a few things on the list at this point!

1. Tuesday: Going to Saudi by car. Traveling for 3.5 to 4 hours to the location, then have our meeting, grab a bite to eat, then drive back.
2. Wendesday: Go to Lebanon in the afternoon, brainstorm on Wednesday, meetings all Thursday, come back Friday morning.

There is still one or two trips which need to be planned. I dont think I will be enjoying this weekend what so ever since there is a lot of work and I ‘m hoping to get some riding on Friday since by that time I will be getting my bike back by then! All this travel and all I can think about is riding my bike! The weather will only be cool for a little while longer! And I don’t think this is proper visit to Lebanon since this is my first visit since 2001, I might need to come back again to see it properly, this time too much work! Saudi will be an interesting drive for sure!

Nothing has really changed with this one day holiday which has been my only first hand experience to a real weekend in years! My first thought in the morning was “So this is what it must feel to be working in Banking in Kuwait! Two days off! That feels nice!”

I don’t know when our government will make the decision and make Friday and Saturday off. I reallly think that it would be best for everyone and things would be a little bit more uniform.

My work amount hasn’t decreased and I’m going at the same pace, but having one extra day to relax and catch my breath really does make a difference. I’m hoping this works out soon or something is made because that one extra day really helped out. Its not that I sleep in much, but I do ride a lot! So it just helped for a relaxing weekend and I got to do a lot of entertaining things as well as getting a bite to eat!

So yesterday after roaming around on the bike a bit I stopped by my brother’s pad to get a bite to eat! And I was really feeling like chicken today! If you want a description of my appetite then think “Cookie Monster with cookies in front of him” that was me! Who doesn’t like Muchboos Chicken in Kuwait, it just tastes so damn good and you just want to take a nap after that! I just decided to take easy to some degree since I know I was going to be riding on my bike after that! And it was one hell of ride to say the least! Full stomach and full tank!

Went over to my cousin’s pad and we had a tv filled day. We started off our day with 300 and even though we both have see it, and we still can’t get enough!

“THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!”

“NO MERCY NO PRISONERS!”

Then we watched about 5 episodes of Friday Night Lights and I really like the show! Its interesting seeing how this show is developing, and I have to say the story is pretty damn good! I really like Matt the QB, and Riggins in the series!

We also had about 4 scoops of 31 Baskin Robbins Orange Sherbert which was perfect in the middle of the day. Riding in the mornin and then chilling at night!

We decided to meet up and relax at my place, and so we ordered some junk and proceeded to watch a show I had on DVD! We were planning to do anything but decided to meet up since we had the time. First thing we popped in was Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, we really just felt like watching it and I have to say that I really enjoyed watching it again, the music, the characters, the drifting! It was all entertaining!

After that we started watching The Unit, which is an interesting show, and I was really entertained since it has David Palmer from 24! The show is pretty interesting, we have all of season one and I will be watching it for sure.

It wasn’t a rough day at work, but I have a few things I have to finish up which I’m happy won’t take too much time. I plan on enjoying my free time this weekend, and get a lot of riding done.

It was a fun night and I made all the guys watch 24 and I think all of them are getting into the rhythm of 24. I just have to make sure they all shut up while watching it. Things are really getting intense, I don’t want to ruin it for anyone but I have to know more. A political situation is brewing and I’m sure how that will affect Jack!!!! And I just found out something about Jack’s private life which shocked him and me, that I don’t want to mention so that I don’t ruin it for anyone!

And then started playing a little pro-evolution soccer on X-Box 360 and the graphics were amazing.Then we all had a nice bite to eat! I also wanted to get a movie I was downloading but it turns out it was curropted but I will find another one because its going to be a damn funny movie!

Then we watched 300 and it was my 3rd time and I still get chills in my spine watching it! THIS IS SPAARRTAAAA!!!!!! AWOO AWOOO AWWOOOO!!!!
