3 Days in Dubai, UAE

Dubai: Our adventure started out with 3 days of rest and relaxation in Dubai before heading off to Nepal.


Day 1: Scott and I slept in, lazed by the pool and I got a massage. Wow, what a life!!!! We were also lucky enough to meet up with one of our friends from work - Ann Perrins. It was great to catch up on life with her new baby and new job in Dubai. It was excellent to see her and her Mom who was in town as well.


Day 2: Who says waterparks are for kids only??? Scott and I went to Wild Wadi Waterpark. I think we had more fun than the kiddos running around the park and going on all the rides and going through the lazy river. Our favorite attraction was the 'Master Blaster' slides ... the force of the water actually shoots you up and down through a maze of slides throughout the park... great fun!

We also went to the Mall of Emirates, for those of you who know western style malls, this isn't so big of an attraction - in fact its a bit sick to see an indoor ski area in the desert. Not only bad for the environment, but an example of spending ridiculous amts of money on something so useless
Day 3... Oh no, I am sick - a combination of stressful job and the fact that every building in Dubai is A/C crazy... it is 90 degrees outside but so cold inside. So I have a bad cold/bronchitis... (self diagnosed).

I did manage to get myself out of bed long enough to go to the Gold Souk! I won't tell you how much I spent, but I did well :)
