"We're flying first class....."

Ok, I had the Fergie song in my head all the way to Duabi. Thought some strange luck most nearly all of my flights got upgraded to first class. To me I thought this just meant that my seat might be a bit bigger and I would get a free glass of wine (or 7). Well, seems that there is more to it.

I arrived in the Dubai International Airport at around 6 am and believe it or not, this place was nuts. It is crazy packed with people laying all over the floors. It reminded me of what you see on the news at O'hare each Christmas. So I walk in and I happen to look up at a sign. Turns out they have a little lounge for first class passengers. The frosted glass doors opened and holy crap, I was transported into a totally different world. One of flat screen plasma TVs, full buffet, and a complete open bar. And yes you would all be proud, I drank at 6:30 am like it was last call in 10 minutes.

Thats it, just thought I'd throw it out there. I am also attached a couple pics. As you can see I have still not mastered my camera.

I'm back, kinda...

I have not updated in nearly a month - wow. I know that it is not a really good excuse, but honestly I just wanted to be left alone. Getting past the idea of being without Michael has been very difficult. Even after a pretty honest and emotional visit to DC last week I am still gripping on to any and every shred of hope. I know, I can own it - I'm pathetic!

At any rate, I have shaved my head and I'm heading to South Africa. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm going to run straight at this adventure.

Big props to Stephanie too for being there when I got back to the IZ this week - your a kick ass friend.
