October ended with a 4x4 dune bashing, a desert barbeque and a ride on the camel. Checked off the list of “must do” activities. Squeeze it all in before the flight to something colder – Canada.

It’s been a month and as always time moves too quickly. I wanted to grab onto the moments and catalogue them for future use when it’s raining in Whistler.

Is travel transforming? Did Dubai live up to my expectations? Did I learn something new? Yes, yes and yes.

It’s snowing in Whistler. I have 500 pictures, a pashmina, and a few Christmas presents from the United Arab Emirates. While watching it snow I was thinking that sometimes experiences are made sweet because of the people beside you. This month I played crib, discovered Dubai, watched fire works, and read books with my Dad. It made my Dubai experience very “sweet.”

Thanks Dad.
