Just Another Day in the UAE




Hello All

I had the day off today and slept in. Weather forecast clear and 100 degrees. Decided to go golfing. There was nobody on the course. My game is starting to come together at last. The game here is all about course management. Your sand game needs to be good. The greens are slow but tricky. Hard to read the greens.

Not much to report. Yesterday I went out to a local airport near where I will live. One of the pilots asked me if I wanted to go flying, a gratefully accepted but did not bring the camera, sorry. We flew around the city and had a good look around. He let me fly and land the airplane, it has been over ten years since I have flown a airplane but it all came back. I think I will start flying microlight aircraft soon, alot of fun, the airplane has two seats but outperform a Cessna 152. 100HP rotax up-front and very responsive.

Please post your comments on the blog, I will enjoy the feedback.

Take Care
Mike

Dad, you are flying again? That's great. I don't know if I'd ever be up to flying with you, but that's cool you get to do what you love.
Miss you.

DAD! That is so awesome you got to fly! And I agree with Julie -- I don't know if I am quite ready to fly with you...sounds a little scary!

Mike,
Just what you need, another expensive hobby! Seriously, it sounds like a great place there. If they had free driving ranges with Pro-V 1 balls the place would be heaven. Glad to hear you're settling in well. I hope your handicap is dropping. Keep blogging for us. I appreciate your point of view.
