So yesterday I set off for Heathrow, to fly to Dubai for a few days to research an article. You may think well, that’s crazy - didn’t I look at the news? The unprecedented rains and subsequent flooding? Yes, of course I had seen the news. But much of it focused on the actual rains, which had seemed to have stopped, and the weather going forward was showing continual sun, which is what Dubai is known for. I looked at the Emirates website, and it showed that flights were all scheduled as normal. So all round, business as usual.
This is so true. Unless you can communicate with someone reliable who is currently where you are planning to go, you have no idea of how the situation is. But social media can help in this situation. When I got stranded in Vietnam, a country I did not know at all at the time, I got connected to friends of friends and quickly received all the information I needed.
