Yes! A Small World Indeed!

Growing up in Rockford, I had a good friend Marc. He was two years older than I was but we found ourselves hanging out together and were always just good buddies!! Long story short...My parents and his parents have mutual friends in Rockford. Once "the friends" heard we were moving to Dubai...one thing lead to another and they told us Marc's family had a "winter home" on the Palm. Marc's parents come to Dubai from about October to April (the perfect weather months). Marc's family was from Denmark. His folks currently have a home in Spain, Denmark, and here.

After High School, Marc spent a few years at Augustana and then returned to Denmark for medical school and we lost touch. Well today we "reconnected" and spent the morning on the beautiful beaches of the Palm Jumeirah together. Marc, his wife, and two beautiful children are here on holiday visiting his folks. They currently live in Denmark and Marc is finishing up his residency. His younger brother Jacob, his wife and their cute son is also here visiting from London. It was fun to see each other again and meet each others spouses and kids. We shared stories and "gossip" of who we still talk to, what people are doing, all that fun reminiscing & remembering good ole' Guilford High School.

We hope to see each other whenever they are in town visiting his parents. His mom & dad were very helpful answering emails and questions before our move to Dubai. They have just the MOST STUNNING view and perfect location on the Palm. It was a really nice morning!

SO...what is all boils down to is...Yes, that's right, A Small World Indeed!
