Dubai at last. It has been a bit of an odyssey. 17 hours flight time, while the journey took 42 hours give or take time differences.

I am very tired so everything seems a little foggy and the effect is exaggerated with the sand haze hanging in the air. My first impression is of a country that has been sun bleached. Everything is dusty, dry and beige, quite a contrast from Jamaica.

It seems very strange staying with Dorothy and the Scarecrow and it might be pushing the friendship a little by imposing upon them for a week, but its all going swimmingly for now. All in all it was a quiet day walking around the local area, keeping the kids happy, braving a sand storm and trying to stay awake.
