Flight in and 28c. The visa was a breeze. Now to get a bus. First thing stepped out of the airport and bam I am very popular. Cab , Cab my friend you come with me. etc.....
Saw a few locals that were on the flight and one spoke english. His name is Rami and lives just outside of Amman. We split a cab with his friend for 5jd each. The driver had some of his own plans. First his trunk would not shut and he now wanted to catch up on his smoking as the sun has set and he can now eat and drink. The cab had no shokes and rattled down the street, Rami gave me his number and so we can hang out later in the week. Great to meet the locals. I will call him tomorow night.
After dropping the guys off i was the last stop. The cabbie called a freaind and had him translate that the hotel was a little further than the plan so i need to pay 10jd. i told him that it was a caontrat and so it was 5jd. he tried cannot hurt. I did tip him as he took me right up to the Hotel and walked me to the desk.
Now this in no 4 seasons, the smell of smoke all aroundthe carpets have never been cleaned but the guy at the desk had a great smile and my room with a shared bath is 13jd. what can you expect. It does include breakfast...
Plan to catch a taxi with a few guys from the hostel and see Jeresh the old ruins.

Hi Jay
Loving the GPS thing. Keep plugging in the coordinates OK?!
Sounds as though you are loving the trip despite the visa challenge. PLEASE PLEASE go to see the lost city of Petra. It is a place I want to go when I get a chance. And don't forget, if you see a guy on a motorbike riding round it could easily be King Abdullah II. Give him a hug and a squeeze from me and tell him to look me up if he's ever single!! Yum-O!
Happy trails and keep in touch. Do you have Skype headphones with you?

Well it is certainly an adventure Jay. Sounds like great places to visit. An ink stamp I can hardly wait to see my gift :-)I am getting one, aren't I?
Meeting up with lot's of people which is so much what you like, that's great. I prefer it when you are with more people than on your own.
I envy not seeing the markets, they would be great. Are there lot's of bargains and when you are bartering just remember to pay a fair price; remember "fair trade".
Glad it is working out for you and that you are having a great time
Take care
Love Mom :-)
