Arrival at Dubai, UAE After such a long flight and not being able to check in and get settled, we had a nice surprise with a wonderful lunch that had lots of delicious choices. Kristen did a wonderful job managing 7 speakers. We were briefed on a general overview of Dubai. After our speakers we rushed downstairs to meet the bus that came over 1 hour late.The bus finally came with just enough time to get into the port that closes at 3:30 and on top of that the bus' air conditioner left much to be desired. We had a great tour of the DP World Port facility from Henrik Peterson, General Manager-Operations of Maersk Line a Danish based 
company that is the largest container shipping company in the world. It is amazing how much product is being moved in and out of Dubai. DP World Port is the 3rd largest port in the world.

Following our port tour we were given a bus tour (on the same bus with no air conditioner) of the city of Dubai. Although there were many special sites to behold the lack of fresh air and sleep allowed many of us much needed naps. Upon return to the hotel Novotel we were finally able to check in to our hotel rooms. We pretty much split up for dinner on our own. Some ate dinner and some went straight to bed for another early morning flight. Presiding Fellows: Kristen Bennett & Carlos Castaneda & Jacquelyn Crabb
