Hello from Dubai! I’ve been traveling with my mom for the past ten days, and this is her first trip to the Middle East. We’ve been taking it slowly, enjoying lots of late breakfasts and 10PM Happy Hours, and sneaking in a bit of sightseeing on the side.
I’m excited to share the details with you guys when we get back!

The winners of all the birthday contests will be announced tomorrow. Mom and I are heading home next week, but in the meantime make sure you’re following along on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to get updates on our trip.
Safe travels, and hope everyone has a great weekend!
I don't mean to be rude but when will you post the ethiad a380 trip report?
Haha! I love this. Is your mom comfortable with an on-the-spot itinerary, though? My mom's worst nightmare!
@ Abdel Rahim Abdallah -- She has been surprisingly flexible! :)
It would be great to see the Ethiad A380 trip report.
I hope you're enjoying your trip and hopefully continuing onwards to India. Can you share with us the rest of the itinerary?
Cheers.
@ Abdel Rahim Abdallah -- Hah, I'll let you know when I figure it out. It's still a work in progress. :)
