Trump In Dubai

The Donald Trump For President Facebook page posted the photo below with this caption:

BREAKING: The world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai just lit up in the American 🇺🇸 flag on the occasion of President Trump’s visit tonight to the UAE.

Since Asya is currently in Dubai working at a health spa, I sent her a text message to see if she could take some photos of it and send them. That is, if she is anywhere near the building. 

Hopefully, she will see my text in time. 

Asya In The UAE

This morning, Asya sent me a big batch of photos from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

She is currently working as a massage or yoga therapist (of some sort) at the Emirates Palace Hotel, a 5-star resort hotel Abu Dhabi, which is the capital of the United Arab Emirates

Here's a couple of photos she sent in the desert:

I presume the mask on the camel is to keep it from spitting. I heard they do that, especially if they had been abused in the past.

The Single Guides To Seeing The World

People who are single or otherwise unable to have a traveling companion go on an overseas trip with them are in a quandry on what to do. Most opt not going, fearing that they would have a bad experience in traveling somewhere solo.

Help on the subject has been posted here and elsewhere. Help is always welcome, no matter the source.

The latest is from the United Arab Emirates' Khaleej Times as they have posted an article on "The Single Guides To Seeing The World." Here, they talked to experienced solo travelers who provide tips on making a solo trip an enjoyable experience.

They begin with:

How many times have you had the urge to pack your bags and just jet off? Probably on hundreds of occasions. And how many times have you 
actually done it? Well, if you’re a part of the majority of the population, probably never. We don’t blame you: it takes a lot of time and patience to plan a trip with your friends or family, coordinating days off, other commitments and all that jazz before you can get on the plane. 

So, next time, perhaps you can just jet off on your own, just like the wanderlusters we spoke to this week — who 
don’t let anything get in the way of satiating their need to 
see the world.
