It’s been nearly 10 years since the start of our Round-The-World trip. In many ways, taking so long to write about our journey has been a blessing. It’s kept it alive and well in our minds far longer than we could’ve hoped for. For this reason, I’m grateful for my procrastination.

06/28/14 - 07/08/14: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

While flying over the United Arab Emirates I was mesmerized by its endless waves of sand. Not a hint of life appeared over miles upon miles of golden desert. Then, as if coming upon a picnic blanket laid upon an arid field, the city of Dubai appeared; a glittering oasis of steel and fantasy. We couldn’t have picked a more different place to visit after India.
