I made my first trip to Dubai, albeit a short one. Dubai is like Vegas, if Vegas practiced a little more restraint when it came to architecture. From the looks of things, the developers just keep one-upping each other. It won’t stop until someone builds another entire city in the middle of the ocean. I’m sure plans are already underway.
In a mere 24 hours, I did the following: went to a buffet, had some drinks by the pool, went to an enormous mall. I think that pretty mush covers the highlights of what Dubai has to offer – not bad really. The hotels are really nice, so it made for an interesting 24 hour diversion.
On Sunday, two important things happened:
1. We dove at the Dayminyat Islands, as shown in the picture below (stolen from another site because we had neither a camera nor a helicopter to take an aerial photograph). This is a pretty accurate representation of how it looked, except much larger in person. It was cool.
2. We may have (fingers crossed!) made a friend. I don’t want to jinx it, but we got a number. How many days do we wait until we call? Maybe we’ll make it 3 just to stay on the safe side. We don’t want to look desperate….
