Wow. This day will have to be divided into several parts because it is entirely too late for me to be able to write about everything tonight! For the first time during this trip, I got a really good night's sleep last night. Previously, I hadn't totaled even 10 hours of sleep for the first three nights but this morning, I woke up completely refreshed and jogged for about 40 minutes on the treadmill. Soon after I returned to the room, Amanda and I learned that Dr. Blackwell needed us to go with him to SEHA, which is the headquarters of the Abu Dhabi government health services, to do a demo of New Innovations. While there, we met several of the most important people of this department including the CEO, CIO and others that I'm not sure of their title or position but they were important! During our meeting, a waiter came in and took drink orders. They served cappachino (I'll fix the spelling later) with fancy decorations on top as well as tea and water. During the course of the meeting we learned that the CIO of SEHA actually grew up in Stow! Ohioans really are everywhere!!!
Next, we packed our luggage and traveled to our next location which was about a 2 hour drive. We're now in the city of Al Ain. It's beautiful at our hotel. Our hotel is on the top of a mountain overlooking the city. We checked into our rooms and headed back out to drive about an hour back the way we came to go to a desert safari. This safari was amazing!!! The first thing we did was drive off road in a group of about 15 Toyota Landcruisers. When I say "off road," they actually call this Dune Bashing. We were up and down HUGE sand dune at really high speeds. Sometimes we slid sideways down the dunes and other times road the crests of the dunes. It was like nothing I could ever imagine. Along the way, we stopped to see a herd of camels and then stopped to take sunset pictures. Eventually, we made it the "camp." Next up were camel rides - these were just a couple minutes long. They were really just meant for photo opportunities but it was still great fun! Amanda rode a snowboard down a huge sand dune. They also had 4 wheelers available but I'm not sure if anyone in our group rode on them.
That's where I'm going to end for the night. We train at our second and last location tomorrow and Thursday and I'm going to try to get another good night's sleep tonight!
