A group of 16 students travel to Dubai for the month of January 2008. Each student will provide their impressions of Dubai, incorporating different aspects of Dubai culture, media, etc. and each student will be able to comment on what they've learned and experienced in each aspect. This form of expression will provide a unique look into the many different angles and frames that each student will see this fascinating city through and in turn will give you, our most cherished readers, a candid and honest critique of our three-week venture.

The trip of a lifetime has reached its end but that doesn't mean that the blog has also met its demise. Once I get back to school and to faster Internet, expect photos and video from our trip and additional blogs to supplement the new media. The blog hasn't quite taken the form that I had envisioned before coming to Dubai but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been useful. The blog has provided a platform for PLU students to offer their opinion on important issues not only to the gulf region but the entire world. Bush's visit was one of those highlights. The images taken on this trip by all of the students have been fantastic and I hope to share those all with you as soon as possible.
Looking ahead, we have a 16-hour flight from Dubai to Atlanta, a three-hour lay-over and then a cross-country flight to cap it off, all resulting in more than a day of travel and a Monday morning arrival. I am reading some news of snow and all I can say is that if we're delayed in Atlanta there are going to be a group of angry Lutes. Not that we don't love traveling but at this point I think I can speak for the group when I say that we are ready to be home.
Also, as I stated in my blog on the PLU website, many of the meetings we had while in Dubai were "off the record" but rest assured, once we get out of this region and back to the States, I'll write up a few blogs that show the highs of those meetings.
Thanks for checking out our blog during our three weeks in Dubai. The travel bug is an easy disease to catch and speaking for the students, having readers of our blog has been greatly appreciated.
Peace and see you in Seattle, U.S.A!
