Welcome back home, OP! Once you have settled in I'm sure that people would like to hear your most recent updates.

And you may well have advice to share with readers. One of the more prolific posters on this thread is taking a holiday soon which shares some of your destinations; he already asked me for the location of the McDonalds in Venice and actually asked me if there is a Tim Hortons there! (I knew the location of the McDonalds because I walked past it many times on the way home, but have never thought to seek out a Tim Hortons. I do however know Lewis that they do home delivery in Dubai) This thread came to mind as I recall that OP is a big Tim Hortons fan.
