Scenes From Dubai




I'm writing this post on the plane from Dubai to Dar Es Salaam and will hopefully be able to post it as soon as we land, although I'm doubtful right now because the wireless in Dubai was hit and miss I can imagine what it will be like in Tanzania. Our plane was two hours late arriving in Dubai but that didn't stop us from hitting the town. We first stopped at the beach next to the only 7 star hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab... We didn't stay there:) The next stop was at a couple more 5+ star hotels including Atlantis on the Palm Island. I think we finally got back to the hotel at around 3 am, even then we sat around chatting for a while. Goodtimes! I'll post more if and when I get a chance.
