Day One Dubai
Beth Says "It is great I never want to come home and we're only on are first day, however I'm a fried egg.It is soooo hot.
We travelled overnight and the plane was huge. There were 10 people in each row! We all had our own screen in the seat and could watch films or TV or play games AND we could have as many drinks as we wanted free. They even gave us sweets and a tooth brush. Our hotel is great with a pool, on the roof, but it is sooo hot."
Joe says " where's my DS...." or he would have done had he not be suffering from jetlag. He left his DS on the back of the airport shuffle but fortunately we noticed it was missing within 30 mins and that if you are going to lose a DS and all your games Dubai is the place to do it.
Anyway Joe had the longest lie down whether it was from the jetlag or the stress or fear of losing his prized possession 1 day into a 6 week holiday.
So back to the rescue, The security staff of Goldensands 3 7 story apartments, and there are 9 like it ,all went into motion to rescue the day and possibly Joe's holiday.
We spent the day chilling, 2 trips to the pool on floor 1 and 1 visit to roof top pool at sunset. We will be going back tomorrow.
I did my normal hunting and gathering in 45 degress heat humping back the food and drink and Angela did her normal cooking a feast for the children from the merest of ingredients.
We ventured out for an ice cream at 930pm but only after finding out that Sunderland had stayed up despite being rubbish since xmas and Everton clinched 5th with a hard fought win at Fulham.
We had to drag Angela back to the hotel to celebrate quietly after she spotted some locals in black and white shirts.
Angela and Simon calories consumed 47 calories spent 3500, partly due to a 30 min run in the blistering heat. Might eat one of the kids soon.
Day 2
The plan is to catch the hotel shuttle bus at 930am down to the beach. This is an early start on your holidays to get everyone fed watered cleaned and dressed and out. So its not set in stone.
Dubai is a dry country in the main and I mean dry in the drink sense. Its also quite dry this time of the year!
