Bpeace in Kabul : December 06

One leg down in Dubai. 18 to 24 hours of flight time followed by the typical work day in Dubai for arriving Bpeacers. Pool side with training materials and agendas at the ready. Study time for business people away from their day jobs. Bpeace missions are indeed a school for curious grown-ups . . .of the adventurous type.

Kate and Steve (who repeatedly called for the wait staff to deliver food to their pool side seats) are again struck by the staggering gulf between the glittering world we sit in today and the rebuilding one we will land in tomorrow. We tortured poor Pam with anticipatory tales . . .

But tonight, one last luxurious dinner at the hotel's chic Japanese restaurant. For 105 dirham (about $28) all the sushi you can eat (picture to come when Kate stops cursing at computer). Won't be getting THAT in Kabul where the only fish is one that comes from Afghanistan's drought challenged rivers. Kate and Steve head to Kabul tomorrow on the 7am Kam Air flight. Have to be at Terminal 2 by 5am. Pam has full day of Bpeace activities planned in Dubai and will meet us in Afghanistan on Sunday . . .snow is in the forecast . . .wishing for that ski resort to open . . .
