Our Last Stroll...

at dusk last night. Kristen is in LOVE with the downtown area and especially, OLD TOWN, with the great architecture it has to offer. Old Town is located right in front of our towers and is where Fayth goes to school. It is also part of the hotel group that Jon deals with all the time including The Palace Hotel, Qamardeen, and AL Manzil. I, too, loved Old Town, and really liked the apartments when we first moved here. However; Jon wanted the view of the city and Burj Dubai (Burj Khalifa) which I totally understood and am happy we live where we do now!! She wanted the chance to take a few final photos before heading home. Her hubby has been uploading them to my computer and I can't find ALL of the photos she took...I'll have to have words with him...but it was a wonderful stroll and she got some great shots.
After returning to our apartment, I prepared a huge spaghetti dinner, chopped salad, with homemade garlic bread. I wanted them to "fill their tummies" before getting on the 14 hour flight!! With our Vino...we toasted to good times, good friends, and good memories!! It has been a pleasure to host the Johnson's and we hope they have some fond memories of Dubai!! Thanks guys for coming. Jon was thrilled to have a buddy come over. Sorry we couldn't get in the CLOSED TOWER...watch it open TODAY!!! Wouldn't that be a kicker!!!
Now, let our normal life "return to normal" for about a week and a half before Robin arrives to whoop up the city!!
