Monday Afternoon At the Dubai Park Hyatt

I made it through another very early morning flight, and am now in Dubai at the Park Hyatt. It's very nice. The balcony and bathroom views are both impressive! Quite a change after a room for a week in Astana where they whole room was the size of this Hyatt's bathroom and noone spoke english. I am also in 28 degree temperature both yesterday and today, but yesterday it was in F and today in C. That a swing of about 60 degrees F warmer. I may need short pants before I leave on Friday to go to Abu Dhabi!

I'm near to the airport and to the City Centre mall, where I was last time I was here a year ago. And the Big Bus Tour Company stops right outside the mall - I may have to take an open top bus tour and see if the city has changed.

Lots of security around, checking taxi and car trunks, etc. as they enter. I think that's good.

I'm now +8 or +9 hours from TRH time - I'll figure it out for sure sometime.
