Almost there

Hello blog friends!

I thought it was only appropriate to post my first blog about my rustic, down and dirty Africa trip from here in the uber swanky Emirates Business Class Lounge here in uber swanky Dubai. Am I flying Business Class? Nope, but such are the perks of having friends in high places. 

The flight from SFO to Dubai was a breezy 16 hours covering about 13,600 miles. nbd. Personal televisions with 600 channels really help the time fly.  Here's one I learned the hard way though: if you want to put a movie on as background noise while you sleep, think through your options carefully. I went with the Little Mermaid. I'm fairly certain that I came off as a weirdo. 

Also, Emirates flight attendants are totally the varsity cheerleaders of the airline industry. They're really pretty and cool and smart and have the best outfits. Seriously. The best outfits. 

Here is where we'll part for now... next time you hear from me I'll be wearing zip-off pants and carrying my own TP with me. Great, decidedly less uber swanky posts are to come!
