Quick post - we have arrived. Rachel and I were floored at how beautiful the hotel is. Gorgeous materials and we're in a pretty huge one bedroom apartment. I suspect that hospitality is a big deal in Dubai. In this region, hospitality would mean life or death for a traveler.
Flight went well. Slept more than I should have. Rachel will have the prime stories: she traveled over with a number of the World Wrestling Federation who were on their way to Abu Dabi. We also arrived to discover that there are 3 degrees of separation: my friend Harold took me to the airport and then went to a party to meet one of Rachel's friends who was hosting her daughter. "Her mom is going to Dubai..." That mom would be Rachel - my body wants lunch and the time here is 11 PM. Hmm...to bed and an early breakfast...maybe a run first...
Funny - can't get my skype to call land lines. Then a few sites I'm used to using - including Blogger - are defaulting to Arabic...so I'm randomly clicking on links hoping to click on the right phrase!!
Alright - shower and some rest.
Tomorrow, we discover Dubai and meet our RIT colleagues!
Wow. I'm in Dubai!
Thanks for the work you're doing to represent the Res Life department Cha Ron! We're proud of you. Hope everything is going well.
