En Route to Tanzania

I’m currently in the Dubai airport with the Thirst Relief crew waiting for our flight to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Last night we got in late, had dinner and hired three taxis to take the whole gang around Dubai to see the city. We arrived around 10:30PM local time in Dubai and staggered back to our rooms at 3AM after the tour just to get up at 6:30 for breakfast and to get to the airport. This place it so new and the architecture is modern and clean. Photos to come… They made me check all my bags so I don’t have a card reader to download yet. >:-{ ….Not happy about that.

I have to mention that both both Virgin America and Emirates Airlines are both awesome. I flew Virgin down from Seattle to LAX and it was fabulous but the brand new 777-200LR from LAX to Dubai was incredible, the service impeccable and the food tasty! (I had the duck. Yes, duck as airline food. Go figure.)

In 7 hours we’ll be in Tanzania. woot!
