    But Thursday is Not a Holiday

    It would be better if we start it on Friday and End on Saturday, as many people have Saturday Off, but No one has an off on thursday.

    December 10, 2009 at 5:20 am #12254

    17th is muharam 1st and its public holiday.

    December 10, 2009 at 5:59 am #12255

    It is not known yet, If 1st Moharram will be on 17th or 18th

    December 10, 2009 at 8:53 am #12259

    That is true…
    Either way…How does it sound if we go on a two day trip on 1st Muharram?
    We could be back on Saturday evening even if 1st Muharram is on 18th!!!

    Dear Jessil,

    Please try to be a bit more accomodative with other members.

    Some of them have a valid point regarding the thursday being a holiday so keep the trip open that if Thursday is a holiday then the trip shall commence on thursday and if not then please keep it as Fri Sat trip.

    Hope there is nothing more important then organizing and leading a LIWA trip!

    That shall bring you back to dubai on Friday evening.

    By the way the trip is being lead by you I believe and hope that you will organize it in a nice way and if any remote assistance is required then you know that you are always welcome.

    Guys join in dozens for this trip!!!

    December 14, 2009 at 5:23 pm #12309

    since there is no declaration about the holiday and no confirmation this trip is postponded.. we will announce new date very soon. mostly 2nd week of Jan…
    Cheers
