Ready

Today I booked my hotel for Dubai. 

Just 15 minutes walk from the Nassumit conference hotel. So everything is in downtown. I could walk to the conference on all three days if the weather is good enough. The hotel is great with a lot of amenities that I don't usually see or that I can afford here in the US. 

There is also something called Dubai Expo 2020 https://www.expo2020dubai.com/. I saw a few ads that got me very excited that there are things to do before and after the event. The expo is from 192 countries so it is like getting a mini tour of those countries.

I am flying with Emirates airlines so I am getting tickets into the Expo for free. I also get a COVID insurance policy as well. It makes so much sense to get that - especially for me. 

Now that the logistic hurdles are almost all settled, I want to plan out my days to make the most of this trip. Looking at some images, the food has a lot of carbs. I intend to maintain my strict diet to avoid missing out on anything on the account of being sick. There is also a gym and a pool so I intend to do some type of physical activity on a regular basis. 

I think I am ready for this vacation.
