ATL to Dubai

I'm officially on my way. Cara drove me to the airport, and we had dinner before I crossed into the security zone. Amazingly it was only 15 minutes in the line - something must be wrong at the TSA....

The flight was 14 hours or so - way too long, especially since I can't sleep on a plane. I watched 3 movies (including the Rocky Horror Picture Show), played a few games on the on-board screen, read a bit, and listened to some music.

Dubai airport is nice, huge, and amazingly easy to navigate through. Even at 9pm local it was well over 100. Ugh. We're staying at the Le Meridien near the hotel - a very nice place. Tomorrow will be some exploring, and getting ready for heading to Afghanistan on Thursday.

I've been awake for 30 hours or so, and I'm a bit wiped. Not terribly sleepy, though.....
