Sue and I had a restful night at the Arabian Courtyard hotel in Dubai. We were upgraded and this hotel is right across the street from the Dubai Museum for those that were here with us in June. In June it was 100 F at night when we landed, last night it was 72 F, this is the time of year to come to Dubai! Emirates provides the hotel and even a complimentary breakfast buffet for travelers with long layovers. We could see the Burj Dubai from our room which is the tallest building in the world, is a half mile high, and opened this month. It must be three times as tall as any other building in Dubai and looks unreal.
We leave in an hour for Dar and hope that we see our 5 bags have made it. Overnight at a church compound where we will meet two retired pastors coming in for 3 months that will give us a ride to Iringa on Sunday. This will be the end of easy and free internet access. Now I have to sort out our 3G network options in Tanzania.
