The conference is tiny, though a few items have made the trip worthwhile. Jonathan and I put together a proposal in just a couple of days and were able to hand it to the interested party yesterday. We are hoping that we will be able to take him to dinner tonight in Dubai at the 7-star resort, the Burj Al Arab.
The Burj rooms start at about $1500 per night, and the only way to see the inside of it is to either have a room or dinner reservation.
We also plan to try to drive to Palm Island - man made islands in the shape of a giant palm tree.
I'm also hoping we'll have some time to do a bit of shopping - someone told us to try the Gold Souk (Souk = mall) - I doubt I can afford anything, but its right next to a spice market - they said to go at dusk and the experience will be unreal.
I must say the jet lag has been quite bad... both Jonathan and I felt bad yesterday- took a late afternoon nap, intended to be like an hour, turned into 3. Dragged ourselves to a dinner, and then came back and crashed. I woke up at 5am and have been milling about ever since. We hear Condelezza Rice stays feeling good during travels by exercising at the same local time every where she goes... must try this...
Alright, have to get ready, pack, eat, and go to the conference...
