My First Flight

We flew from Dubai to Cairo to meet up with Jeff for a short holiday. We thought it would be a good trial flight before heading home in April.

Noah survived - more like I (Mom) survived. He was a real trooper. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Noah loved and entertained them all.


Checking in.

All buckled up. Unfortunately, he didn't have his own seat - only for the photo.

Giving Mom a rest.

Proof.

I love flying!

Bob & Gayle Head Home

After a month of hanging out by the pool at Hayya, the time has come for Bob & Gayle to head back to the cold.

Thanks for everything, Nan & Pops!

Lee, Cind & Aisha are off to Bangkok!

Lee, Cind & Aisha are off to Bangkok to attend a job fair. Best of luck!

The Tisdall's Visit

We were fortunate that family were able to come to visit us over the holidays again this year, as it would have been a challenge to travel with Noah, given he had no passport - a true wanderer.

Bob and Gayle arrived on December 10th for a months holiday and Cind, Lee & Aisha arrived shortly after and stayed for two weeks.

Aquaventure with the Tisdalls

No trip would be complete without a visit to Dubai's newest attaction - Aquaventure at Atlantis. This is Noah's third time to the park, we are thinking about enquiring about a seasons pass.


Wasting no time.

Pretty in pink.

Lee giving the signal - get the cameras ready.

Lee has faith.

Soaking up the last of the sun.

Yum.

Whatcha looking at?

We will be back.

New Years

With all New Years celebrations cancelled in Dubai, we had to ditch our plans to go to the Burj and look for the next best thing...an evening at the Berry's playing Guitar Hero World Tour with Brad on the mic. ;)

We spent the day relaxing at the Lakes Club, then rang in the new year at the Berry's. The following evening we checked out Global Village.


Celebrations started at the Lakes Club.

Aisha is ready to ring in the new year.

Getting ready to go to the Berrys.

All ready to go.

These guys were good.

Happy New Year from the whole gang.

Global Village.

Where to start?

Why not ride a panda?

Or hang with crazy clowns on stilts.
