We landed safely in Jordan after around 18 hours of in-flight transit time. We had a car reserved and little else. Some internet research in SA had us leaning towards staying in Madaba as an initial base of operations for visiting Mount Nebo, The Dead Sea, and Jerash.
The driving is back to right side USA style driving. Nice. We managed to wade through the Arabic/occasional English road signs and got to Madaba without too much trouble. The first hotel we checked on had a room available. The kids are currently all sleeping at 2:30 in the afternoon. They were trashed from a sleepless night watching movies on the airplane.
We will likely hit Mt Nebo tomorrow (from where Moses originally saw the Promised Land).
So far, so good. Psyched to be in the Middle East. It has been a void in our world travel resume for far too long. More posts to come.
