I Had Fun With This One

Seventh Floor View

My view from the seventh floor of the Sheraton in Doha.

And the night-time view is equally as picturesque.

Busy, Busy

A look at a few of the things I have going at the moment.

I can always count on Emily to make me laugh with her funny faces.

This was in response to my seeing some headlamps on the luggage belt at the airport.

Isn't she adorable?

From Valencia To Paris

The line at security was long in Valencia – as always.

Arrival in Paris. This was moments before I found out my luggage was already on its way to Dubai.

Thank goodness the airport hotel had one of these.

A bit out of sequence. But a nice photo before my departure from Spain.

This was my room at the Ibis hotel.

That big wall with the door is the bathroom.

And here's a look inside.

Really nice – and clean – compared to some airport hotels.

I woke up early Monday morning to find out who won the Super Bowl. The BBC had a photo of it.

Yep, I'm in France now.

The razor and shaving creme I sprung for in the vending machine.

On My Way To Dubai

This will be a quick post with no photos because I am getting ready to board my flight to Dubai in Paris.

Things were seemingly going well in Valencia Sunday, early evening. I enjoyed Sky Priority status in getting my bag checked for the flight to Paris. But what I wasn't told was that my suitcase was being checked straight through to Dubai.

So when I got off the plane and waited for my luggage, I was left waiting. A check at the Air France desk told me my bag was already on its way to Dubai. Ugh.

I made it to my hotel just fine, but with no change of clothes or anything but my backpack, it was a bit depressing. Like really depressing.

So I awoke this morning, showered, and put my (stinky) lululemon clothing back on. It's going to be quite a day since I don't arrive in Dubai until midnight. And one other issue: I don't have my visa. Supposedly, it will be there – handled by the race organization – when I arrive. I sure hope so!

Emily made me laugh with this reply that I'd made it to Paris.

And a classic "funny face" followed.

A Bit of Craziness

It seems Halloween came early to the Denia Marriott.

I'm getting ready to head out from my stay at the Denia Marriott. There were some interesting images all around. Saturday night's party – which had something to do with costumes – didn't wrap up until 5 a.m. Sunday. Yikes.

Here are a few more photos from around the hotel:

This guy must have had a really nice time at the party.

I got these rookies from the Ladies European Tour to help me out.

They really liked the free stuff we gave them.
