The Emirates Experience

This is the First 7 star hotel in the world, Which has a helicopter pad to fly guests to and from the airport. HA!
Tallest building in the world.
This is how the Malls look around here. Wow.
Ski Dubai. Not as exciting to a Canadian but none the less impressive.
My ride. Which had showers and spa services available....or first class...



Hello Everyone,

So sorry that it took so me so long to start this blog.

First off, the plane ride was fantastic! You got a blanket, pillow, socks, tooth brush, facial cloth, and beauty sleeping glasses with stickers that said "Wake me up for food" or "Do not wake me up" hhaah It was unbelievable service. Spa services and showers were upstairs on first class.

Chad and I have been doing a Jump on and off Bus tour. We even got to go to the Palm islands, which is completely amazing. A sight for sore eyes! We went to the museums, and there are unbelievable malls here! All designer clothes, so Carrie would be in heaven!

They have Bars here for "Westerners". We went to one they have in Paris as well, called the Buddah bar. It was great. Met people from England, Montreal, Chicago, South Africa, and Canadians galore, who say that they are just passing through trying to make some money for a couple of years and get experience.

The weather is 40 degrees everyday. Its like walking into a sauna. Surprisingly you get used to it quite fast. Anyways, I will keep you posted! Miss you and love you all!

Your desert lady,

Allie
