Thanks guys - it means a lot. Kind of not the best week ever, this. Sorting out travel arrangements in the morning, insh'allah.

Also wishing you hassle-free travel, Fay. Your poor mom.
Going back to quester's question, the dryness of a martini is determined by the ratio of vermouth to gin. The less vermouth then the more dry the martini is. Martinis got progressively more dry over the second half of the 20th century until people were barely including the vermouth. There's been a backlash against that approach trying to get back to the original formulation.
There really isn't a "wet" martini, but there is an older variation called a perfect martini which uses sweet vermouth.
