I'm ready to leave Pakistan!

Well the last evening in Pakistan has arrived.  It really went by so fast and I have throughly enjoyed my time here but I'm happy to go.  Being here has been such a good learning experience mostly about family, culture, and religion.  And of course weddings.  Today our final day we finally got the chance to go shopping at the market.  I bought a few things mostly fabrics which hopefully my mom will sew cushion holders / pillow covers for!  I got some silks and then also this sheet/ blanket with all these hand make stitchings.  

I had to ship all of my stuff back to my parents house today. I had quite a few souvenirs from turkey, Qatar, Abu Dhabi etc.  I was excited to get rid of it all but not so thrilled at the price of 150$.  Oh well I guess my mom will get her gift early!  

Our flight for the Maldives was supposed to leave at 340am on jan 7.  Which from this writing is like in 4 hours.  However our flight is delayed until 130pm tomorrow.  So therefore we'll miss our connection in Abu Dhabi.  Another night in this city?  We'll see!  We're just planning on sleeping in the airport unfortunately.  

So after getting sick one from the street food and now developing a cold along with everyone else coughing up their lungs and sneezing etc, I'm ready to leave this pollution and humidity and cold!  I cannot wait to take a hot shower and be basking in the sun in the Maldives!
