Post trip observation

There were some concerned people when the destination of this past trip was revealed. I wanted to comment on my personal feelings during the trip. I never felt in danger the whole trip: Dallas, London, or Dubai. The only time I did feel anxious-and that is not the best choice of words because it was not that strong of a feeling, was at Heathrow airport in London, in baggage claim, near the outside doors.

The thoughts of bombings that had occurred around London and Great Britain passed through my mind and I felt a small need to move farther in the building. Contrasting that, I never felt in danger in Dubai. There really was no visible crime other than the bad drivers, but we have that in the states. We walked most places or took cabs. Even at night, walking back to the hotel did not fell dangerous in any way.
