Going back to Abu Dhabi after being away for more than 3 months makes me realized that I am actually missing my good life here as a mom and as a person. It took me awhile to adjust (not that easy) but I did and I started to be happy! I was busy with lot’s of things going on around me. School events, volunteering, watching my son doing his sports, meet ups with 3 groups of friends, family time, even errands I find it good as it’s my me time to be alone and do some houseworks and I do love cooking, little luxuries in life (that we cannot do in NZ) like some brunching (in 5*hotels) with friends and family, theme parks, fine dining and more travels.
The lifestyle here that I became adjusted to really makes me wonder why life keeps giving us a crack after I finally settled in. So yes, we’re back to New Zealand and so many things had happened while we were away for 4 years!! Life is not the same anymore or perhaps I am not the same anymore. (Sigh!)
Coming back here in AD for a quick visit so our family can be together again. Life sometimes sucks being an expats but it also gives you a lot of opportunities and new perspective in life that we didn’t know before.
So shall we go back for longer period in the land of the desert and opportunity? I don’t know. Guess I just leave it for the fate to pick us up and go with the flow. It happened before so I won’t be surprised if it happened again. So far all I know is… this is another home away from home!
That “little luxuries” lifestyle are very typical when you are an expat… so enjoy it while it last…. ❤ ❤ ❤

Hi Sue, I know I may sound crazy for wanting to go back home then once back I realized that I miss my adjusted life in AD haha! Oh well perhaps it’s also because hubby is left there to continue working. Anyway, this is another reason to travel wohooo!! Cheers!

Yes you must miss AD so much as it was your home for quite some time and you had really settled in there. I do hope NZ brings you the same joy in the future Vinneve.
