Flying: Day 2

We flew for close to 13 hours to get to Dubai. By the time we landed here, it was nearly 8:00 pm local time.  (We missed most of the day.) We breezed through immigration. The automatic gates recognized me but Jay had a new, replacement passport and had to have a person process him through. We had to wait for a bit for the luggage.

We grabbed an airport taxi and checked into the Hyatt Place Al Wasl District. Our original reservations were for the Hyatt Place Al Baniyas Square, but a major fire occurred there last weekend! The place burnt and our stay was changed to this one. It is only about a 15 minute walk away. Little sleep in the uncomfortable airplane seat, so we're ready to sleep despite the drastic time-zone changes!

Jay managed to log on and change the seating for his two sisters and a family friend.  Now, they will all be seated together.  They're coming from Sri Lanka to join us on Tuesday.
