Our First Guests!

This past week in Dubai was the largest property development show in the world called "Cityscape." Four gentlemen from RJA, the company Jon works for, came to town for the show. The group included the Chief Operating Officer, RJA-International President, VP of Middle East/Europe and a senior consultant that is joining the Dubai office in January. I referred to them as the "BIG WIGS!" Well, we wanted to "show-off" our new apartment & the downtown view, so we invited the guys over for cocktails and appetizers. The only problem...we couldn't supply the alcohol just yet because in Dubai you must have a liquor license to buy any alcohol and Jon is in the process of getting his now. So, hurray...hurray...It was BYOB!!! Just like the college days!!! Truthfully, the guys had offered before leaving for the trip to each bring us a bottle of booze, from Duty Free, for our apartment until Jon got the license. Needless to say, we threw back a few, had some great varieties of cheese, hummus and olives and sat around our table and "chatted!" It was fun to show them our new "digs!" This is the first time I didn't whip out my camera...Honestly, my first vodka & tonic in Dubai seemed to be more important. It was fun hosting OUR FIRST GUESTS!!!
