SZR Chaos Expected
It looks like Weds/Thurs this week will be a traffic nightmare with SZR and Al Khail Rd both closed. http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/em...tour-1.1286164

Oh joy!
Thankfully I will be on the East coast on Weds and Thurs.
Seems like Sat will be a nightmare tho.

Not just SZR; loads of other roads too.

The elder one is in Gems on Al-Khail
He usually is back by 12.30, meaning the bus should be done with AlKhail road by 1130 ish, but do you think I should not take a chance?
I dont want him stranded in a bus, hungry and angry :/

Aw crap. But not sure if this will affect me. Arriving Thu evening around 21:00, Taxi from the airport to Rotana Jumeira. Any ideas if this will be a problem or not?
What's occurring anyhow?

Re: SZR Chaos Expected
although no mobiles though, I think I am old school on this one, I am not going to buy them any of these tabs or nifty phones growing up
they do well in exams, they will get an extra movie night with some pizza thrown in
if they have to go out and be at a place where no one else around them has a cell, then they are not going there, simple as that
Only one telly in the house and that will be in the living room, right next to the home PC
Hey I know what I was like growing up and how easy it is to make fools of your parents (or did I?
)Its a few more years down the road thankfully and I dread the day when they hit their teens

Re: SZR Chaos Expected
you might want him to have a mobile on thursday - cos if he's truly stuck he's going to want to let you know.
get a cheap basic, and cheaper PAYG SIM, and take it back off him at the end of the day
