Day 1: Amsterdam - Vienna - Damascus
posted by:
Apr 05, 2007 – May 05, 2007
Looking back, this is by far one of the most special trips I have ever made. Almost every day we felt as if we were experiencing something unique. The hospitality of the people inviting us for tea or a chat on an almost daily basis is definitely what made this region so special, but also the rich h…

During our early morning cab-ride to the airport, the lady on the radio reported the the temperature would be around 41ºC (106ºF) today. Whoa! Dang! That's hot! Good day to be leaving I guess. So we are off to Amman, Jordan (relatively cool, I think!) with a three-hour layover in Bahrain. See you…

The next day, Cathy and I got up early to walk to Jaffa.  When we got back, we took a walk through some of the parks of Tel Aviv and also through the main shopping area.  It really felt like Europe, or even the US, but it was a neat experience all the same.  We were shocked to see ev…

Losing nine hours during the flight deposited me in Dubai around 9:30PM Saturday night.  I was a little taken aback by the lack of instructions/signage informing where exactly to go, but eventually stood in the appropriate line and shared an engaging chat with a guy from Britain who was ove…
