Hello!
Our trip started in Dubai. It was about a 15 hour flight with the sun out the whole
time. I sat next to an old
Pakistani woman who spoke no English at all. She got comfy with me right away because she slept on me
about half of the way! And even though we spoke different languages we still
communicated pretty good!
Flying over Dubai was amazing. There was nothing but sand (because it is a dessert of
course) then all of a sudden in the middle of it all pops up this huge
developed oasis! It was cray! We landed only to find out that we
didn’t have a hotel booked for us like promised to had to find our way to one
and pay for it. After exchanging
our money to Dirhams, Ciara kept thinking that everyone wanted to cheat us and
kept asking for a “hook up on Dirhams” from the desk clerk at the hotel. We definitely got the stupid Americans
look. After checking in, the three
of us took a night tour around the city and were amazing at all of the huge
buildings and the cost of living. It is great to be able to say that I was in
Dubai even for only 12 hours. I
think that is all I needed (and wanted) to be there.
Love,
Mal
