Gone on Vacation

I meant to write a “by the way, I’m going out of town on vacation for two weeks” post before I left the country, but it took forever to pack for the SNOW in Texas concurrently with the desert climate of the Middle East, yada yada drive family drink cry leave.

The twenty hours of traveling wasn’t too terrible, even though I sat uncomfortably close to two of the three toddlers on the airplane, both of whom thought I was fascinating and therefore would not stop staring and waving at me the entire time. One of them tried to pull my ponytail. WHAT ABOUT ME LOOKS FRIENDLY TO YOU, YOU STICKY LITTLE ANKLE-BITERS?!

Unfortunately I don’t have much time for writing, but I will do my best to Twatter at night about the events of the day. Or maybe I’ll do a huge post when I return. I have no idea. But I’m not dead. I’m on vacation and loooooving it. I knew we were going to have a good time, but damn. Our first day here in Dubai was fucking epic, right down to dancing waterfalls and symphony music. Much like the movie Fantasia, but with a $15 billion budget.
