Dubai. Day One.
I need to start by saying that Fly Dubai is definitely worth the money. If you get a chance to utilize their services, I say do it. The planes are new and clean. They are reasonably priced and on-time, and their staff is very nice. I think that the Stewardesses are outfitted by The Gap.…

The first flight out.
Its been a little while since I touched down in the Middle East. So far, it’s been work, work, work. I have been focusing on doing the job and presenting myself in a good light. But, all work is just that, all work. I decided it was time to taken a run to the airport.…

When To Travel?

What to do with all the pictures?
Over the course of the last several weeks I have been thinking about how people document their travels.

Ride stubs from the train and subway passes are also a popular item. I…
