Full speed ahead

This week last year we visited Motiongate for the first time and were caught completely by surprise when the Madagascar kiddie ride turned out to be a literal Mad Pursuit. We were tossed around, holding on for dear life, the skin on our faces pulled back to our ears as we shot through space faster than we could have imagined. (the link takes you to a YouTube video of what it’s like to be on the ride — so fast, but so fun).

A year later and we find ourselves on a similarly frenetic ride. This is the week that we’ve been praying for all month as we knew that the defense expo that is in town would bring all of the major players in the business to Abu Dhabi. Our future here has been unclear and we were hoping that some in-person meetings would clear out some of the fog that has been shrouding our path.

The past 24 hours have felt like we’ve been shot out of a cannon once again as we find ourselves riding up and down and flying toward something we couldn’t have imagined a month ago. It appears that this change in direction means that we will be able to stay in Abu Dhabi for another year. We’re waiting for it to become official, but we’re celebrating today.
