Back in Time: 2/17 Arrival

Well, Yemen got off to a good start. It is much cooler than Dubai, which is a great plus. The heat in the airport in Dubai that you could sense walking close to the external walls, or on the walkways to the plane is always overbearing. I don’t think being able to see the world’s tallest building, to live on an island shaped like a palm tree, or to ski indoors in the desert makes up for this, then again, I know many people who disagree and love to vacation in Dubai. Even the fruit plate that arrived at our hotel rooms around 11:30 when we were trying to sleep before our early morning flight didn’t seem to set us over the top. Yemen’s altitude kept us cool, but perhaps also exacerbated the jet lag? Somewhere between 6-8 time zones I get hit pretty hard. Supposedly altitude makes it worse? Sana’a is at 7,500 feet, nothing for folks in Colorado, but a decent height for east coasters…
