It was about 13 hours between Chicago and Amman and we were only in Jordan for 2 days. We spent as much time getting there and back as we did in country. While there, we worked with our Jordanian rep, Imad Matarneh and with Alan Threadgould from the RC Dubai office.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Jordan, officially called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a very old country in the Middle East, located between Israel, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. King Abdullah II, see photo below, is a very young king who took over after his father died in 1999. His father, King Hussein, was the king of Jordan for more than 45 years. There are about 5 million people in Jordan, most live in or around the capital city, Amman.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>One thing that worried me a little was being 37 miles outside of Syria. In 2012, Syrians were trying to overthrow their dictator who had the military violently putting down protests. One week after we flew out of Jordan, going around Syria, Syria shot down a Turkish Air Force jet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
