This morning we drove from Abu Dhabi to the Dubai International airport. The UAE is really an amazing place full of old world customs and a modern infrastructure. Amazing buildings, international brands and a 4G network.

We were met by our favorite Dubai airport handlers/facilitators whose job it is to wisk us through the airports different challenges. After a well deserved Starbucks stop, we boarded the plane to Jordan. We are going back there for five days and have some great events planned including a trip to Petra tomorrow. After we landed we got our sim cards all set up and did a happy dance before we left for our hotel. It's great to be in the same hotel for five days and we went to our favorite local resturaunt for a quick bite. The weather is beautiful and cool. We feel like we've returned to our home base in the Middle East.

It's a three hr drive to Petra and we have to get up early. I can't wait to share stories about pics of our adventure tomorrow.
