Selling Everything!

We were worried about not getting rid of stuff, but it has been the opposite. Our car was only on dubizzle (like e-bay) for an hour before I got a call. 1st caller bought it! It took another week to sell it officially and another to get the check, but it was really quick. The furniture is trickling out slowly- it's all been sold, but we are here til July 3, so we need stuff to sit and sleep on. Ingrid took the photo of Deira and the metro from our balcony. The only item we shipped was the wood bar from Kashmir. It weighed 350 pounds and cost $1300 to fedex to Tucson. We stuffed it with items, then the nutjobs at the airport asked us to fill out commercial import forms for 4 pairs of USED shoes - 50 questions on % of man-made vs natural fibers, distribution id numbers, and a bunch of other stupidity. Then they wanted us to do a textile form for Ingrid's used shawls! Thread count? Stitching? % of natural fibers? WTF? I said NO. We held up the flight and then they refused to fly it. It left the next day to Paris and is now stuck in customs in Memphis. We just hope it gets there in one piece and not too much stuff inside gets broken! It's amazing how quickly the time has passed - 2008-09 in Madrid and 2009-2012 in Dubai. Lookin forward to comin home!
