Here's the Reid Photo of the Day. Reid's mom K, for whom this is essentially a "Reid on Wheels" plan, has successfully reached Dubai, but won't be able to leave the emirate paradise for a few days, because of regular travel snafus. So from her perch in an internet cafe in Dubai, she got her first taste of the Reid on the road.

It was a hit. Hopefully, she will be able to check on our progress each day, and I hope you feel welcome to do that as well.
