Greetings from Nairobi

Well, we are now in Nairobi at the Palacina Residence and Suites. We landed around 2:30 pm and then were met by the CC Africa Tour company. The weather is much cooler here, thank goodness. It was over 100 when we left Dubai today. Dubai was amazing. You can't imagine the amount of building they are doing there. They are building hundreds of tall buildings. I mean tall. They are not all that big width and length but TALL. It made me wonder who are all the people that are going to come live in them? Dubai is a really big city. More palm trees than I have ever seen. The heat and humidity was humbling. The humidity was like nothing I have ever felt, it was beyond Florida hot. We saw all the major sites in Dubai, the gold souk, the mall of Emerites, the Burj al Arab, Wild Wadi and the beatiful beaches. Our hotel the Jumierah Beach was beautiful. They had 3 pools and beautiful beaches, 20 restaurants, shops and instead of painted clowns like in Sarasota they had...painted camels. Our room was huge and very nice with a stunning view of the famous Burj al Arab hotel. Jeff's uncle and aunt stayed there and we went there last night for a cocktail party in their suite. It was over the top.

We are all resting and getting our bearings. Tomorrow they come to get us to go to the first safari camp. This hotel is very beautiful, the room is huge and decorated very softly. We are headed to the pool and dinner later. Jumbo.
