Many thanks to everyone that offerred assistance. I am happy to say that I am currently at Dubai Airport waiting to go home. I crossed the border from Saudi to Bahrain today on the sea causeway and then a quick flight to Dubai.
It has been a long and sometimes stressful 36 hrs with my passport being taken to the other side of the Middle East and back again and phone calls to cell phones which change numbers everyday...hahahahaha. It really was like a movie and I can laugh now but at the time it was very real.
I will put the story together when I get back. I am only in Australia for two days and then off overseas again for two weeks but this time on a holiday that I planned two years ago for my 50th. Somewhere far away from the Middle East. However, in saying that, I will be going back but maybe a little smarter and a little wiser.
So now it's time to spend some quality time with my wife and one of my daughters.
One thing I learnt, nothing is impossible in life. When all the chips are down and you think that there is no way out, take a step backwards and watch, listen and learn.
Treat each problem as you would an investigation. Cut the problem into bite size pieces and digest the problem slowly. Seperate the good from the bad. Work on positives and you will start to see clearly.
Life is good if you make it good.
