Taking off for Dubai!

When it was time to move to Dubai, we felt we were somewhat ready! I was packing the morning of our move and of course Aaron had already been packed and prepared for at least a few days prior to our flight! :) Anyways, we headed to JFK airport with my mom, Aaron and I in one car and my brother Johnny and his girlfriend Haizea in Johnny's car. We had to take 2 cars because one of us (I won't mention who) brought seven suitcases of clothes, shoes and makeup with them. :) (Take a wild guess...)

We flew Emirates airlines on their new A380 airplane. If you don't know what that looks like, check out the pics below! The airplane was 2 floors and at the back of our floor was a bar! Aaron was in heaven to say the least. I pretty much slept throughout the entire flight which was great at the time but definitely set me back when trying to adjust to Dubai time.

The flight was about 13 hours long and we were happy when we finally landed. Aaron's co-worker and friend, Jon, picked us up from the airport and we went to our hotel. Since we were still in Connecticut time (9 hours behind) it felt like it was 3pm and not 12am! It took Aaron about 4 days to adjust to the time change and it was about 2 weeks for me to adjust. I was pretty jealous when I was wide awake at 3am and he would be sleeping like a baby!
