Some ridiculously awesome photos of the light check.

Dubai - Day 2

I'm still trying to get on local time. Woke up about 4 am and worked for a couple hours. Was able to grab another hour of sleep, but it wasn't great. Unfortunately I can't just will myself to get on the schedule. So I'm trying all of the tricks, including working out. The gym is gorgeous - lap pool, squash courts (I tried, but suck at it), steam rooms, all the fancy cardio equipment, free weights and other excercise goodies. It's nicer than the Equinox at home!!

Off to Dubai!

Just arrived at Heathrow. Slept 9 of the 10 hours, waking only to the air pressure change as we begas our descent into the London area. YES!

Dear Ambien,

I was skeptical when I first heard about you. Drug addictions, adverse effects... you (maybe not YOU, but your kind) had a bad rep. But then I talked to my doctor about how I didn't sleep for any of my last flight over and was miserable the first few days, and she introduced me to you. And xanax, but let's focus on YOU. Just 10 mg and I passed out - and in COACH! Slept through breakfast, which was probably a blessing. Put on some mascara (that's the black goop for your lashes), fluffed my hair, and was a completely new person.

THANK YOU!!!

Long (2:30) video of landing... can't edit it at this point - I'll cut down later.
