The Dubai trip, day 1

I have mentioned last week I would be out of the office this week for a few personal days off and a business trip to Dubai. I have just this morning (we are 4 hours ahead of UK time) arrived in Dubai after an amazing flight. I travel in a group of various cruise consultants and holiday professionals and after meeting at Heathrow airport our group was checked in for our Virgin Atlantic flight to Dubai.

Courtesy of Virgin, we all had seats in the Premium Economy section of the aircraft.
Very well worth the extra bit of money. It gives you loads of legroom, big entertainment screens, less seats in a row compared to Economy and great service. Too bad the flight was just under 7 hours at night. I am looking forward to my return flight next week already, to enjoy over 8 hours of flight.

After arrival at Dubai airport, we were transported to the Atlantis, the Palm hotel. This hotel is located on an artificial palmtree shapes island (build by the famous Dutch) and is a very impressive resort.

For the rest of the day, we will have a site inspection of the resort, including a short bed inspection I think to catch up, and later today a Dolphin interaction session at Dolphin Bay. Tonight on the schedule is site inspection of the One&Only Royal Mirage.
