Oman Clip


So here is our Oman Trip... It was unbelievable! We initially only planned to be in Abu Dhabi for a couple days, but then we got invited on a trip to Oman that we couldn't turn down. So we changed our flights (the benefit of having no plans) It was epic...

While we were in Oman we got to go watch sea turtles come on the beach and lay eggs... planet earth style. Anyway, you'll see in the clip a little guy..."Tyson." He was special to us because the stat is that like 1 out of 1000 baby green sea turtles survive. They give strict rules and regulations to make sure you do not interfere with nature, as it might disrupt the natural process of things. Anyway, so Tyson was among his hundreds of other brothers and sisters fleeing from the sand to the water. Well a bunch of stupid tourists kept flashing their camera lights into his eyes and he got confused and starting running the wrong way... The guide simply said that we had to leave him, because it was nature and the turtle would just get eaten by the birds or crabs. Well, as I'm sure you can all imagine, Sara was not about to accept that. Her argument was that nature doesn't flash point and shoot cameras in turtles eyes that throw off their bearings! So she pretty much coached this little turtle to victory. She'd smooth out the sand and build walls to guide it. It was pretty funny....

Anyway, we spent about a week roaming Oman with the Price and Kacher Families and had a blast. The food was awesome, the scenery was awesome, the company was even better, and we had soooo much fun! Thanks guys!!

Disgustingly amazing. Your vids keep getting better. This one has a real special vibe to it. The rack focusing, the music, the scenic/sunset/wide shots and details. I wish I was there.
