This month's trip took me to Tokyo Japan. Leaving the Tuesday after Hurricane Ike blew through, the airport was full of people relieved to feel air conditioning. It was a relatively uneventful but painful 13 hour flight. I have been convinced that economy seating is high priced torture. There's no being comfortable, even with empty seats next to you.
I spent just seven days in Tokyo in a small hotel near Akihabara Station. I got to visit a few places in between the drizzle and rain and took my first ride on a train! Immensely fun, and scary at the same time. I couldn't read anything, I had to rely on numbers, colors, and diagrams to get around and figure out where I was going. My pictures are posted on flickr, and you can watch the slide show here.
Last month, I had a chance to visit the Middle East on a business trip. Munkie and I spent some time in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain seeing the beautiful sights and shopping at a couple of the largest malls in the world. We took over 200 pictures! The best ones are shared here in a Flickr set.
We got to see the Atlantis Resort out on the Palm Island
