I was a consultant with IBM for a bit and did some world wide travel. It can definitely be draining, especially during the holidays. I know how you feel so welcome back!

That flight from Amsterdam to Houston is a haul. Did it in October. Adding in a leg from Dubai is a crazy haul

Did you see a lot of Americans and Europeans working there? I've heard there used to be many from the US and the UK working in the real estate business in Dubai, where they building entire cities from scratch, and fill them with fancy, expensive highrise apartment buildings, and even more expensive, luxury houses. Some work as agents, some as speculators.

...my friend, you may be shocked as to how very "americanized" dubai is...

please bare in mind that whenever you mention the term "worker" in reference to dubai... it generally pertains to the thousands of migrant workers brought in from (bangladesh, maylaysia, india, indonesia. etc) to perform the actual construction duties. "emirates" generally, do not perform any duties of this nature. when it comes to dubai... americans are the money, protector, and everything else to lean upon in times of constraint. we are treated like "gold". american restaurants are everywhere throughout dubai. my company has two hotels in dubai. nevertheless, i always lodge at either the "the address hotel" dubai mall or "hotel kempinski" mall of the emirates (google them and you shall see for yourself just how fabulous these hotels are) each mall is bigger than some small towns..... simply amazing place.
