Our First Day in Dubai


What a day, night and new day all in one! 

We left CT for the JFK airport at 7am on Sunday morning. We flew business class – everyone had their own TV, the seat lays down flat, we received gift bags of personal

 toiletry kits, we could push a button and call seat to seat
, we had cameras that looked out the front and bottom of the
 plane – it was very cool! We landed in Dubai at 8am on 
Monday morning (that’s still Sunday night back in CT).
We went to ASD (American School of Dubai) today – it is huge, very nice, amazing, it is K-12, the pool has a shade awning. We will visit another school on Wednesday.

We swam in the hotel pool and met an 11 year old girl from Russia, Sonia.Oh and one more thing, driving is chaotic, not everyone follows the laws. There 
are different rules if you are an Emirati than for everyone else.
Now it is past 9pm here, we are all jet lagged and tired. We will post more
 pictures tomorrow.
