Apologies for the spotty blogging

Just got back from an eight day trip to the Gulf Region. I found it hard to keep up with the daily fare of the blogosphere.

There was lots of local topics to natter about, but I had to wait until I got home. Starting next week I’ll take you all through a daily travelogue of my meetings with some Gulf-based venture capital firms, as well as many of the Sovereign Wealth Funds that you read about in the Wall Street Journal from time to time.

My trip took me from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to Kuwait City and then back to Dubai. I met some of the most gracious and hospitable people you’ll ever meet. It was my first time in the region, and I commend it to all of you, either for business or pleasure purposes.

More on that next week.
