Back in Dubai!

It's hard to believe that we are back in Dubai and have been here for over 2 weeks!  The 14-hour flight and adjusting to the 10-hour time change are similar to child birth or running a marathon!  There are a few highs and lots and lows, but it all fades in due time.  That's why we continue to do it over and over again! ha!

This year we took a noon flight out of Dallas, which meant there is more awake time on the plane as opposed to the evening flight that we used to take out of Houston.  It feels like the flight is never going to end, and Mason was our official timekeeper and made announcements nearly every 15 minutes about how much time was left! Cash also felt the need to throw up all over himself, his lovie, me and my seat with approximately 12 hours left to go!  Of course I had a change of clothes for him, but I neglected to include a change of clothes for myself.  Fortunately, Rod brought an extra Under Armor fishing shirt, and Emirates Airlines had an extra pair of Men's pajama bottoms for me.  I was able to change into something clean and comfortable but not quite so fashionable! We landed in Dubai around lunch time, so it was nice to have some daylight to help with the adjustment.  All in all, the boys were such troopers, and we all survived the ordeal!!

The saying goes, for every hour of time change, it takes that many days for your body to adjust.  It's a 10-hour time difference, and every year it takes us approximately 10 days to get our days and nights straightened out!  I'm happy to announce that we are officially back on track!  Yeah!


Rod, Cash and Mason getting ready for take-off!  Let the fun begin!

Jake enjoyed the headphones


                                                   
            Cash & Jake: dazed and confused after the flight!


 Mason waiting patiently with ALL of our luggage!  Each ticketed passenger is allowed up two      75-pound bags, and the twins were allotted one 50-pound bag each.


 Cash & Jake could not help but stare as a group of men walked by us dressed in their dishdasha (the long white robe traditionally worn by men in the Middle East).  


 
 Sleepy Boys!
This is how I found Jake one evening.  Poor thing!
