| About These Letters |
|
|
 I moved to Abu Dhabi from my native Canada (with my then-husband Bob), in 1993. Over the course of the next 10 years, I wrote letters to family and friends around the world from my new home in the Middle East. I also documented some of our trips to interesting destinations.I’m re-publishing the letters here (as and when I get a chance to edit them!), for your reading pleasure. I hope you enjoy them, Susan :)
