was wonderful! Started off a little shaky, as our babysitter Mary, was not picked up by her driver on the other side of Dubai where she had cleaned her last home, but Lauren saved the day! She came over in a jiffy until Mary arrived! Thanks Lauren!! We headed to the Burj Khalifa, Armani Hotel's, Italian restaurant called Restaurante'. It was such a cool view from the entrance to the Hotel looking straight up into the sky at the tower. The Hotel was so prim & proper we really didn't belong. I think from the opening of my door, at the valet, to the sitting down at our table at least 8 guys escorted us...from one to the other!! The operation was amazing and made you feel so "important!" Little did they know we are just two "pee-ons" from Cary, Illinois!! It was amazing. It's all about the experience! The meal...well...we liked it...but I'm sure our friend "Jeff the chef" would have LOVED it and really appreciated it more than us! The drinks...well, let's just say I shouldn't have had Jon make me a vodka before we left. I probably could have fallen face down in my "beef cheeks" ravioli! Our first thoughts as we left the restaurant...is there a "Taco Bell" drive through in Dubai! Ha Ha! (and that's why we "work" together...we are on the same page..) Instead, we opted for McDonald's ice cream and a drive around town. It was a relaxing and romantic evening!! It was a big celebration as another chapter in our lives starts!
As for the Armani...too sleek, modern, and "plain" for my taste!! However; well done if that's your fancy!! I prefer the more "Glamorous" route like Bellagio!!
***Gotta love the first two photos...guess who took those!?!***
