Blogging from Dubai






So we started our journey to Australia, and our first stop was Dubai. We found a Starbucks with wi-fi so we took a couple of pictures and thought we would share.

Suzanne was excited that there was TP in the bathrooms here because there was none in the airport in Nigeria.


We are going to go find a Burger King and get some food. There are stores and all sorts of good stuff here.

We have 6 hours here then off to Sydney. Our plane to Sydney stops in Bangkok and then after Sydney goes on to New Zealand (maybe we should just stay on the plane and go see New Zealand)

We tried to use Skype to call people but it wouldn't call cell phones.

This past couple of weeks have been quite interesting and stressful leading up to our trip. Suzanne did all of her class stuff early so that she wouldn't have to do it while on our trip. Then we got the professor to open the test early so that she could get that finished as well. So she started the test and 5 minutes into the test her new laptop decided that it didn't want to work anymore. So we spent the next two days tying to figure out what went wrong and best we can figure is that the hard drive simply went bad. Therefore the past two days leading up to our trip have been emailing her school to allow retakes and re-downloading her school classes and redoing all of her assignments. But luckily we have my computer and we were able to get it all done and taken care of so that we can enjoy our trip.

Have fun and we will see you all later,

I didn't realize you guys were going to Australia...

Sorry that the time leading up to your trip was stressful. Enjoy the outback, though.

Looking forward to seeing you at Christmas.

That`s the state of my Nigeria government and the people. Using TP(toilet paper) is not as hygienic as washing with WC hose which is in Nigerian airport as you may want to know.

You can keep on complaining about the state of Nigeria airport here but don`t forget it`s a third- world country that`s trying to get many things done. And, you guys like to complain about little things so much( especially when you find them in developed countries) -- you are really spoilt by America megalomaniac life style though. Now,the economy is affecting all of us.

That`s my mind (I have to really say my mind at times).

Take care guys!
