Off to Dubai

Well, tomorrow is the big day! When I first heard about this opportunity to visit Dubai with OSSN, I told Gary that I wanted to be on that bandwagon. That was almost a year ago and so when the conference registration opened in December of 2008, we began our plans to attend. From compiling frequent flyer miles into one account to finding a hotel to stay in for our early arrival, all things came together nicely.

We fly out Tuesday from Detroit to Atlanta and then a 14 hour flight from Atlanta straight over to Dubai. That is a LONGGGG time to be on a plane, so sleep aids, reading material, snacks and more sleep aids are all part of our packing list. We are supposed to arrive in Dubai on Wednesday, April 15th at 7:50 PM, so our body clocks should be totally confused. However, that is not stopping us from jumping right into exploring this fascinating city. Thursday afternoon we are scheduled to go to the infamous Burj Al Arab hotel for High Tea. Having a reservation of some sort at the hotel is the only way of gaining entry into the property. Even our scheduled city tour the next day is just a drive by of the Burj. I will try and post some pics from our view from the Skyview at the top of the Burj.
