Well as usual it has been a bit of a whirlwind this past month. We’ve been very very busy over here in Dubai and also travelling over 8,000 miles to the opposite side of the world.
Due to the hectic month, we have broken down the long long blog update to 3 shorter blog entries, we hope you enjoy our updates
We had only just recovered from the surprise visit by Andy & Karen, getting back into the routine of work and not waking up drunk, when Ashley & Aubrey (Two of Erin’s best friends from California) made a short 5 day stop in town. They are currently doing a world tour and had 5 days in Dubai. We planned lots of events for them including a Tuesday night all you can drink Mexican meal and the infamous Friday Brunch! This time the Brunch was booked for us as well as 30 other friends and acquaintances. So it was more like a big party & was lots of fun and very entertaining. On the taxi journey home Aubrey proceeded to feed the taxi driver chips, mark was asleep drooling, and Ash & I were singing random songs!
Whilst we were both at work, Ash & Aubs also did a desert safari and dune bashing, they didn’t enjoy this too much, but I think that had a bit to do with the hangover from the night before. They both had a bit of upchuck from the crazy dune bashing. We also made it to the Burj al Arab (World’s only 7 star hotel) and did the high tea in the Sky Bar which looks out on the ocean and the Palm Jumeirah Island. High tea was very enjoyable and much more than just Tea. We arrived to a glass of Bubbly, given a slice of fantastic Beef Wellington, then we moved onto the sandwiches, pastry and the tea, followed by a large selection of little cakes, scones and jam. I would thoroughly recommend this activity to any visitors of Dubai!
We showed them the spectacular fountains at the base of the Burj, had a great night in with the girls, few cheeky drinks, cup cakes and a very very competitive game of apples to apples! (pics from their visit: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2270938&id=6402232&l=b8ec921b57)
We absolutely loved having them over to visit and were so happy they could see & learn about our life here in Dubai.
Once Ash & Aubs left to continue their travels and visit Sarah in London, we had a very busy week….we were both working extra long hours to complete all the tasks before going on holiday, we were recovering from our visitors, trying to pack for Cali and cleaning the house….(Mark did manage to sneak his next round of the Karting championship in) so the week flew and next thing we knew we were on a plane to San Francisco…………….
Lots of love & hugs,
Mark & Erin
