This is a view of downtown Paris while on final approach to Le Bourget airport. The Eiffel Tower is in the distance.

Nyon is a quaint little town on the edge of Lake Geneva. We stayed in an ancient hotel overlooking the water.

Dubai Airshow

I visited the Dubai Airshow on the opening day. This is now the world's 3rd largest aviation trade show. After the first 2 days of this show over $80b worth of deals had been signed!




At the Execujet booth you can see a model of the Aerion supersonic business jet which is under development.

Kuwait City

I'm at a nice hotel in Kuwait today. Here are a few scenes around town.

FourPoints

Here's a hotel I've been staying at this week. It's a Sheraton and is one of the newest hotels in Dubai. Nice rooms and roof-top pool.

Flight ops

Here's our plane on the ramp in Dubai. This morning I took a shot of the Palm Jumeirah Island as we were headed for Kuwait.

Dubai Creek

I found out that the best way to get cross the Dubai waterway is on the "abras", the traditional water taxis.

Company party

Last night Execujet threw a little party for all the employees here in Dubai. It was at the Sheraton Jumeirah Beach hotel. About 160 people came. What a feast!

Dhow cruise

Today I went for a day cruise with some friends on this old boat. This is in Oman, about a 2 hour drive from Dubai. We stopped at several points to go snorkeling, then they served us a nice meal of roasted barracuda. It would have gone smoothly except at one point we got marooned when the skipper let the boat drift aground on some rocks. We got rescued about an hour later when we were able to board another dhow that came along.

Friday worship

I have visited this church a couple of times and found everyone to be very friendly and encouraging. The land for the church was actually donated by the ruler of Dubai.

Sheik Zayed Road

I went walking up the street where my hotel is located and took a few photos.



































I have some friends who live on the 43rd floor of this glass building.
