We've arrived!

After 15 hours of movies, tv, sleeping, and eating on a swanky Emirates plane, we've arrived in Dubai! We're here for 36 hours of fun and excitement.

1) It's hot! Remember the heatwave a few weeks ago in the Bay Area? This kind of heat makes those days seem like the frigid winter. Here, it smells hot, breathes hot, and feels hot.

2) Our hotel is a really, really nice bed and breakfast. The owners have two gorgeous Dalmatians, and there's a huge spiral staircase up to our rooms. Perhaps in its past life, this building was a family's home...quite a nice home.

3) It's 12:30 am, and we just got back from dinner. Standard!

Tomorrow will be an exciting day as we tour Jumeirah Mosque, the souqs, and maybe even sneak into the Burj Al-Arab (the one that looks like a sail!)
