We have now left Dubai. Wow I feel exhausted I must say but happy to finally be on the other end, unpacked (well my suitcase anyway) and staying put for a while. I am the proud owner of a little town car here in Knysna (well fuel is pretty expensive here) and have just joined an Executive Hub so that I can work easily on a day to day basis (decent internet speed is not so common here). The weather is pretty chilly but its so pretty that I don&#8217;t mind. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/catinthedunes.com\/Dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/knysna-500x143.jpg\" alt=\"sandCat in Knysna\" width=\"500\" height=\"143\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catinthedunes.com\/Dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/knysna-500x143.jpg 500w, https:\/\/catinthedunes.com\/Dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/knysna-300x86.jpg 300w, https:\/\/catinthedunes.com\/Dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/knysna.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last few days in Dubai were quite hectic as you can imagine &#8211; trying (and failing in some cases) to see people to say goodbye to, wrapping up our accommodation and getting the deposit refunded (easy as it turns out for a change), spending time with special friends (thanks again Carol and John for letting me stay with you) and generally trying not to cry at the most inopportune moments. I feel truly blessed to have had the 6 year experience, and for the wonderful people I met along the way. Thanks to you all for being part of my journey.<\/p>\n<p>I will be continuing my blog but with a different focus &#8211; so expect a few changes in the next few days as I move the Dubai section to its own subdirectory, and start with a clean slate and new look. Everything will still live here at catinthedunes.com so don&#8217;t worry I am not going far.<\/p>\n<p>As promised I have finished my exit check-list (for those that requested it) and you can <a href=\"http:\/\/catinthedunes.com\/Dubai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sandCat-Dubai_Exit_Checklist.pdf\" target=new>download this here<\/a> in PDF.
