We are at Birkenhead House, the first to arrive. Emirates is now my new favorite airline! They serve Cosmopolitans on the planes and even serve them in a martini glass! Not the crappy vodka and cran-apple in a tumbler I am usually given.

We arrived at Dubai airport about 8:00 pm with a connection leaving at 3:30 am so we stayed at the DubaiInternational Hotel in the terminal. It was very nice, extremely convenient and reasonably priced. They gave us a wake up call.at 2:30 and we were on our way again.

On arrival at Birkenhead about 1:30 we had a very nice light lunch (Thai duck salad for me and grilled calamari and shrimp for Jerry) handled by the lovely Miriam. We took a walk along the cliffs/beach and are now waiting for the rest of the Cheetahs to get here.

Ralph it's a little chilly as the sun sets. Best guess it's about 60? I have a light jacket on as I sit outside.
