We left South Bend, IN on time for the two hour trip to Atlanta arriving around 7:30 PM. Two hours later we left Atlanta for the 13 hour trip to Dubai. The trip, long. The food, lousy. The plane, a new Boeing 777, packed. But we made it! Andrew had made arrangements with Marhaba, an agency that meets you at the gate. Takes you through passport control on a special line, and helps you with your baggage. It was worth it. At passport control the lines for the common people were at least 50 deep. We then met Andrew who was waiting for us.
Dubai is a modern city. The same as New York, Chicago or Paris. Except for the street signs, which are in Arabic and English, you cannot tell that you are in the Middle East. Everyone here speaks English.
Evelyn and, of course, Caroline and Andrew live on Palm Jumeirah. That’s the island that was created in the shape of a palm tree that juts out into the Arabian Gulf.
Scenes of Dubai.
Before Evelyn After Evelyn Arrived
And now for the star of the show. The one everyone has been waiting for.
Life is Great, anywhere we are, on the Roan Road….
