Parting Thoughts....

 



After our visit to the UAE, I learned the following...

1.  Camel racing is weird...

2.  Next time we will go on a desert safari...


3.  Next time we will ski at  the Mall of the Emirates....

4.  I will undoubtedly sprain or break something....

5.  The Dubai transit system makes the Chicago EL look like a battered tin can....


6.  Mosques, with their green spires, dot the landscape like Seven Elevens....They are every few blocks...


7.  The call to prayer is pleasantly eerie....?

8.  Our next visit will have to include Jack and Ferrari World.....


9.  Jumping out of a plane or para sailing is just plain nuts....We saw a lot of that....


10.  There is an inverse relationship to swimwear and obesity...'nuf said...


11.  Reading two books uninterrupted while a nice man in a white uniform hands you 
cool towels and mini water spritzers, is the life....

12.  Drinking a mai tai while seated at a pool bar, seats submerged in the water, rocks...


13.  Drunk women should not wrestle in the sand 
unless they know they will not see their opponents the next day...Men, of course disagree...

 14.  The Atlantis has a huge opening in its architecture that must be an alternate doorway to Narnia...


15.  Ex-pats have a great life here, especially in Abu Dhabi.  I'd do it for a while...

16.  Jet lag lasts too long for old birds like me....


17.  Tom is headed back to the UAE in a few weeks......

Can I come too?
