Since Jess is so close to delivering, we knew we couldn't go too far from Riyadh for winter break. Our original travel plans were postponed until next winter break, but we figured we could handle a four hour drive to Bahrian, a small island country off the east coast of Saudi Arabia. The drive is easy, safe, and in no time we found ourselves on the Persian Gulf enjoying more freedoms than we have in Saudi. Bahrain, known as the "Las Vegas" for Saudi's, is a more liberal Muslim country where alcohol, pork, and movie theatres are allowed. Jess also had the freedom to walk around without wearing the abaya. We stayed at a nice hotel attached to the largest mall in Bahrian. We chose this for comfort and convenience. We had quick access to the movie theatre, great restaurants, spa and shopping. We enjoyed four days of relaxation and are now home "nesting". We still have 9 days of break!
