Home, sweet home

Well, it looks like we're nearly there, as the utilities at Tornado Villa should be connected today (for you fans of etymology, the English word "today" has its origins in the semitic root twodaysorsofromnowifyou'relucky).

You're probably wondering why in the world we would want to spend this much time and effort leasing a villa that is presently a mess and may not be ready by the time we move when we could walk into a shiny new one in Al Raha Gardens or Golf Gardens.  I can answer that in three words:

Location.  Location.  Location.


In other words, smack in the middle of Abu Dhabi island.

Now that we're a bit more confident about actually having a place to live in Abu Dhabi, I can give you the address:

A big white villa in Al Karama, somewhere sort of near an embassy, across the street from a villa with extremely ugly walls, next to a couple of other big villas, and not too far from the shopping mall.

I hope you all have your Outlook settings tweaked to allow for 12-line address fields.
