Preparing for the next adventure - Dubai here we come

August 11 - working at CMed with Narms in the admin office and we made a spontaneous decision to go to Dubai in November. Wow, how cool is that. Just do it!!!!

So when I got home from work that day, I did a bit of research - it looked like an amazing place to visit and so the real serious planning started. On the Sunday we went to the Flight Centre expo and picked up some brochures and got some prices for flights, then we got together over the next few days and planned our itinerary before forwarding it to Kylee at Vuda, who then did all our bookings for us.

And now, here we are just four weeks out from departure. Everything is booked, and we are on the final countdown. I had to apply for a new passport, and I had the booster Hepatitis shot from the course I started for my Vietnam trip, we've changed our money, done our insurance and really all we have to do now is pack our bags. Well - you know me, I've already started doing that. It's been such fun planning our itinerary and we both wanted to do the same things, so it was easy - we've got a pretty action packed holiday planned - a visit to a cultural centre for lunch, a hot air balloon ride, an overnight safari in the desert, a day trip to Abu Dhabi and a day at the rugby sevens. And then of course there is shopping, shopping and more shopping, and throw in a bit of eating and drinking and a night at Atlantis The Palm, and it all adds up to a pretty exciting holiday. I think we can steal the Vuda slogan from my Vietnam trip to describe this holiday as well - A bit of an adventure, a splash of luxury, a heap of culture, a taste of exotic cusiine = one amazing Vuda experience.
