I made it to Dubai (minus iPod Touch)

The good news is that I am here safe and sound and the Emirates
business class lounge in Dubai. This terminal feels more like a giant
shopping mall, and crowded at that.

It's about 8:45 AM local time here. That's 12:45 EDT for those of you
following along at home. I have about 6.5 hours 'til my final flight
takes me to Hyderabad.

When I got on the plane at JFK, I realized too late that I had somehow
lost my iPod Touch. Those who know me too well know I use it a lot
for email and Facebook. I had just started using it for Skype calls.

No worries, there is a laptop computer waiting for me in India. I'll
load Skype to it, and be making calls soon enough. I wasn't planning
on calling while here in Dubai due being 8 hours ahead of EDT. Most
of my readers are asleep right now.

A flight attendant put my information in the Emirates lost and found
system. Best case senario, my iPod was found and will be forwarded to
me in India in the next couple days. Worst case, I need a new iPod
Touch. I'm wondering if travel insurance would cover it?

I'm going to see about getting a shower here at the airport and then
resting. I didn't sleep for more than a few minutes at a time on the
13-hour flight from JFK.
