Lagos Bound

Well, I know it's been a while since I've written, but there was really nothing new to report....until now.

Since Port Harcourt is in such a mess the company has been replacing expats with Nigerian employees and Darren is one being replaced along with many others. He was also offered a new position in Lagos, which is also in Nigeria, but not on high security alert like Port Harcourt. So, he will be in his new job sometime in October and will be waiting for a flat to move into. We are planning on joining him in January after the Christmas break. Life in Lagos will be quite different than Port Harcourt as we will all be in highrise flats not houses with our own yards and pools etc. I assume life won't be as laid back as Port Harcourt but we'll see. The girls will be going to an American School instead of a British School. The school is also a great deal larger than the one in Port Harcourt, more like the size of elementary schools we have here. They will also have uniforms to wear, oh they will also have to ride a bus to get to school as it is not near the housing area. That I'm not to happy about, my girls don't catch the bus here in Texas to go to school (I bring them) but they'll have to catch a bus in Nigeria......

I'll write back when our plans have been made for our move.

Cheers
