The Tigers have landed

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!
