Arrival in Bahrain

We arrived here last night. We were met at the airport by Jim and Sandi. They helped us rent a car and lead us to the hotel. They even brought enough groceries to get us started. This was a very pleasant surprise. Today after unpacking the suitcases we took a short trip around the area. We saw a couple of supermarkets and then Bill got a call for a short introduction meeting back at the hotel. I dropped him off and went back to one of the supermarkets to pick up a couple of things we had forgotten to bring and to take a look around to see what all they had. We will be okay here. They seem to have everything. Things are expensive here but have not quite gotten the hang of the new money exchange to I will have to let you all know how expensive when I do. Better run. Bill getting out of meeting and I need to see what is next. It is 18:30 now so need to decide time difference. Take care.
