Fall back

We did not 'fall back' here in Dubai so we are now 9 hours ahead of NY instead of 8. Morning time in the US still seems the best for reaching us - you can usually catch Ang just as she is waking up from her nap. Unfortunately Skype is no longer reliable here. It's banned by the government (for video calls, chat works just fine) and although they don't have it blocked the service providers are now filtering the calls resulting in very poor quality on video and voice. We have had some luck with video calls on Google Talk but I know not everybody uses that service. I'm on the lookout for how best do video calls and will let everyone know when we find something that works!
