Good First Full Day

Hi All!

Not a bad first full day away from home. I am still all messed up timezone-wise - woke up at 0230 hrs my time this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. Heat is still bad, but drinking lots of water helps. Very quiet here at night - air conditioning is the only sound you can hear.

Went into Dubai today - very cool. Spent time in some nice shopping centres and went to a movie (mostly for the air conditioning!!) Of course, I found the Dubai equivalent of Chapters and spent some time in there - even found a Starbucks!!! Saw what must have been a camel farm of some sort - "Camalicious". Nice easy day with relatively little stress.

Heading over to the sandbox tomorrow. Not looking forward to the Herc ride, but I'll get through it. Got all of my required gear - heavy. Don't see how the troops on the ground hack it.

Anyway, got to go and pack some stuff up. Will write more once I hit the ground.
