Well I’m about halfway through my travel to Cape Town now. I’m sitting in the Dubai airport writing this. It’s interesting to see that everything is written in Arabic first and then English. At this moment it is almost 9 pm and my next flight leaves at 8:35 am tomorrow. This airport is really nice. I guess they built it before the economy in Dubai crashed. I tried to check out the hourly rates for the hotel upstairs, but it was a bit pricey so I’m going to try to sleep in the terminal.
The first flight was pretty uneventful, but Emirates sure provides great service. I got 3 meals on a 12 hour flight and got a chance to watch the Blindside and just sleep for a little bit. My sense of time is completely off right now. Dubai is 8 hours later than Connecticut and 11 hours later than California. Cape Town is only 6 hours later than Connecticut, so I’m trying to stay up a little later to get more on schedule.
I’ll update again when I get to Cape Town!

Ahhh can you believe you're in Dubai??? And I just got to talk to you! I hope that you're able to get some rest, even in the crazy crowded noisy airport. You're halfway there! I can't wait to talk to you again when you're in Cape Town!
ReplyDeleteI love you!
Glad you got a little rest. Sorry about the long layover...at least you were well fed. Looking forward to hearing of your arrival in Cape Town.
ReplyDeleteGet some pictures of the Dubai airport and also out the windows if you can. I'd love to see what it looks like.
