Safely in Dubai

Hey everyone, so we made it here last night at about 3 in the morning, and the city itself is beautiful. Our flight to London, was long, it felt like it took forever, and then we had a 4 hour layover there which really didn't feel like that long since we had a bunch of lines to wait in, and that was probably the right amount of time to leave for us to still be able to catch our next flight. We flew to Dubai straight from London on Emirates, which is this super nice airline, but I slept for 5 of the 6.5 hours. so I can't say I really enjoyed the service or the movies. Anyways, we were a little delayed getting out of Heathrow, so we didn't fly in til 2, and we had to pick up our car, but it worked out great because Devon and her dad came to meet us at the airport, and then driving to their house which is about 15 minutes away was a joke because there was no one on the road. So it's now 11:11 am here, and we're just kind of getting rolling for the day. I think I've already adjusted to the time difference, even though it's 11 hours difference, and so we should be ready to go out for the day soon after we eat some food. I think our plan for the day is to head to the beach for a little bit, and then do a bunch of walking and sight seeing downtown. Our plans for the week are to go to the Palm because the Stewarts have some friends who live there, and you can only go if you have an invite there, and we'll go to the Atlantis for a day (check it out online), and probably camel racing, a desert safari, and a whole bunch of shopping! I'll try and keep you posted every day with what we've been up to. Don't worry about us! We've already practiced doing our countoff, I'm #1, amy's #2, raquel's #3, and devon's #4. Well, we're just about to head out! Love, Bonnie
