Destined for Destination Dubai

Here's the post for this week - communicate with Destiny to find a bit more about Dubai and the Middle East (Dubayy as it is listed on the map). She will be checking in periodically - or at least once this week I'm hoping - to answer some of our questions we may have. I won't evaluate this thread (i.e. close it) until thursday Nov. 7th. This is probably the easiest thread you will have. btw, zing for me on the thread title. If you are later than this Thursday then your blog post will be to report on the U.A.E., Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and the oil states of the Middle East - possible topics: what are they? How did they come to be? What was the Arab Spring? But remember that next week you will have another blog topic which I will open on Monday. So it may be best to stay on top of things.
