5 hours till Dubai

     So for anyone interested in following my trip to Dubai, here it is.  This is Ilene's official Dubai blog.  I'm almost done with everything, got a bit more to do, but I'm sure I'll be ready to leave at 5 for my 10pm 13h non-stop flight to Dubai!  I recently checked the weather, as of now(8 pm their time) it is a balmy 99 degrees.  Earlier today it was 105 (yikes!), however tomorrow it is only going up to a weak 104.  I will be staying at The Grand Midwest Hotel in Bur Dubai and working at and with the girls from Zayed University.  I think this next week is touring Dubai, however my mom swears one of the emails said we start classes that week... so yea, not so sure what it is we're gonna do, but it should be cool.
