Second meeting

It’s the second meeting.

In the interim, we paid a down payment on our Hajj package (about 30%).

We reached…after the herd.
So we had to sit in front.
How thankful was I to see bottles of cold water being shared out.
It was hot.
Also, the fans were ALL on and the tables were arranged perpendicular to the previous arrangement thus taking full advantage of the fans for everybody’s benefit.

Not only did he have water, but our Hajj leader mentioned that they also provided some light refreshment for us (doubles! yay! I had 3 or 4…I think I had a super light breakfast that morning).
This really is luxury Hajj…hehehe ;-)

We were surprised (happily) to discover a couple from our Jamaat was making Hajj with us too. So now, who is daddy going to ask to hold on for him? Dunno!

I’ll summarize this meeting as best as I can.

  • We were provided with a bulleted itinerary with approximate travel dates and approximate flight dates
  • As we’d paid a down payment, the balance was due in about a month’s time.
  • He summarized baggage restrictions.
  • We went through many duas and some details of making the Hajj. More will come in time.

Don’t remember much else because I forgot to take notes in my copy book … but will update :-)
