Off to London this afternoon and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY HUSBAND!!! Too short of a stay this round but at least I accomplished the task of officially becoming recognized by NYS as Mrs. Webber! It was really nice to see Carey and Leetee, sorry we couldn't work something out Mrmike.

I guess I brought the Doha sunshine and warm weather with me, because it's leaving with me too! I do what I can ;)

Until next time.

I made it in late last night by some grace of the cosmos. Only appearing in the B-lo area for a few days with a tight schedule and lots to do - but if you'd actually like to see me, give me a shout and I'll see if we can't work something out.

I've got to do phone interviews almost every day with folks back in Doha and a lot of name changing stuff, but there should be some free time here and there.

Ya'll probably hate it, but I'm LOVING the rain right now. Gray skies actually feel so nice once in a while.

More photos from the trip to Atlantis in Dubai.


Dubai skyline


massive viewing tank in the hotel...i mean MASSIVE. it's 3 stories tall and holds some 11 million liters of water.


all the tanks are meant to look like the lost ruins of Atlantis, very cool


and an entourage of rays in flight


the tank is so huge and I was shocked they actually have a young whale shark in it! i learned more about this unusual sighting:



the aquarium, or 'lost chambers', carried the Atlantis theme with all kind of artifacts and machinery


Rory is um...testing the environment suits for leaks?


that's a biiiiiiiig grouper


sunrise over The Palm


Burge Dubai, the tallest building in the world


at the water park we went on this slide ride where you end up gliding through this shark tank


and cute rays greeted you with a smile, it was pretty impressive
