Oh Man! I'm in Oman


Have you heard the expression "When in.." as in "When in Oman" ?  Well, I finally took the plunge, went out on  limb and did just that. 

Give me 20 minutes in the Muttrah Souq and what happens.....

Dubai



So what were my favorite things to do in Dubai? I  loved what everyone falls in love with, the Burj Al Arab the Burj Khalifa.

The only way to gain entrance to the Burj Al Arab is to rent a room for a minimum $2,000 to $18,000 a night or to snag a reservation in one of their restaurants.  We had High Tea and it was delicious. www.exploredia.com/most-expensive-hotel-in-the-world/#more-2249

I spent $27 to take the elevator up to the 124th observation deck at the Burj Khalifa.  Amazing to be up so high. This is the tallest building in the world right now.

We Got Him and I am in the UAE?


Just before 7 AM we turned on the TV and started to get ready for our tour of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. Originally we were signed up for a dune safari but having read about it, I did not think my hip would be up for the jarring bumps of the sand dunes. I canceled my tour. This morning David read exactly what I had read the day before and came to the wise decision this would not be good for his back either. So the old folks that we are signed up for a 5 hour bus trip with photo stops.
