Technically it was NY. And it was so unremarkable I forgot.

I haven't seen the Matterhorn since they rebuilt the freeway. Granted, I'm usually driving, but the freeway sits below street level now.

For some reason, I only remember seeing it heading North. I can't think of where we were coming from.

I've never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld! I do want to go, though, but more to observe the clockwork-like precision (and where it fails, too). I've read and heard so much about the way it runs and the quirks that the real E ticket for me is to find those nerdy things out! I did hit up Carowinds (between SC and NC) and eventually Busch Gardens and Kings Dominion, smaller but similar ideas, but never the big kahunas.

Wait for Abu Dhabi to open, that's gunna be a trip trip.

Abu Dhabi has been on my radar since the late 90s. They still run the most prestigious no-gi competition for jiu jitsu anywhere.

Send pics; I was in UAE once killing time at the airport on my way to India. Bought a green watch from Japan at duty free. Weird vibes. I did have a friend who lived there and he told stories of sand that got everywhere and posse’s of foreign women. Not sure what was true.

Claire (receptionist and now admin at our gym) very nearly lived in Dubai for years, but I believe she ended up in Finland instead. She was doing international politics. We talk about the vibe there sometimes.
