First step, long journey

Jan farmed out the girls for the night so she could take me to the airport, isn't she lovely. Okay, I'll miss her, she might miss me. On to me!

I flew out at 2.30am, had a short stop in Singapore, then on to Dubai by 1pm, UAE time, all up about 15-16 hours. I had arranged a shuttle to the hotel & everything was easy. I spent most of the shuttle trip gazing at all the buildings. So now I'm checked in, well enough housed, even free wifi in the room. I've had dinner in the restaurant downstairs, nice. It's time to catch up on sleep.
