Day 1 of my captivity

Day 1 of my captivity- I can not say this was a particularly smooth move, but all is well. We had trouble in London going through security and now we are minus one skateboard.We arrived at 7:30 pm Abu Dhabi time, the temperature was 102*. Little did we know that a sand storm from Iraq a few days earlier had arrived before us. It looks like a white out, zero visibility. We are pretty sure there is a view of the Persian Gulf outside our hotel room, but we are not sure. You can cut the dust with a knife.The funniest part about the trip so far is Eric is in room 1408. Like the horror movie and book written by Stephen King '1408', about an evil hotel room.
