Amman-a go away...

Daily Report
Sunny, cloudless, 95 degrees

Jacob and I have been haggling with online value airlines for about a month, going back and forth between will-we-or-won't-we take a little getaway during his school's "spring break." After a last-minute price drop (back to the original price at which we couldn't procure our tickets--thanks, Jazeera Airways' web site), Jacob's growing empathy toward my cabin fever and the insistence of our mutual wanderlust, we decided to go for it. I thought about using "C'mon, when will we be back here?!" as an argument, but let's face it, we might be...back here...for a while.

We have a week, a whole week of sightseeing ahead and I can't wait: ancient ruins, beaches, salt seas, mountains and...drumroll...temperatures in the mid-70s! Oh, bliss of moderate weather.

Many more photos (think Petra, Aqaba, Dead Sea) to come, but in the mean time, here are the links to photos of the great trip to Dubai, courtesy the Warren Rogers. Highlights: Lunch at the Burj al Arab, breaking into Nad al Sheba, touring Zabeel Stables, Marina Cruise, Buddha Bar, Kandura shopping in the Deira Souks (ok, who am I kidding, we had three days and the whole thing was a highlight!
