I have made the large part of trip to the other side of the world from my home in Texas. I’m sitting in the Emirates business class lounge in the Dubai airport right now waiting on the final leg of my trip to Doha.

I’ve never flown business class before, so this was a great experience for me.  I’m already spoiled.  I was able to get some sleep on the plane, and I’ve definitely eaten well: on the plane, in New York, and in the airport lounges.  I never realized how big of a deal the lounges in the airports are.  They have made all of the difference in the world for me during my layovers.  It’s nice and quiet, and they have complementary food and drinks.  The picture here is of the lounge in New York.

I have pictures up of my time in New York.  I didn’t take pictures of the restaurant where I ate dinner, but believe me, it was very classy!   You can see the pics by clicking here or clicking on the “photos” link in the upper-right corner of the page.  The plugin for the photos is not working perfectly, be warned.  For example, the slideshow link doesn’t work.

Look for more to come!
