Hey Everyone. Just thought I'd share some pics from our vacation last month. I wouldn't usually post these but the trip was so damn amazing I just had to spread the word of how cool Dubai is. For our trip we spent a week in London and a week in Dubai. Everybody knows and has heard so much about London so i won't bore anybody with the London details other than the fact one night we were at our hotel bar (at the Metropolitan in London) and Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were in the booth right next to us 
Anybody who has ever thought of going to Dubai, JUST DO IT! We decided to go to Dubai at the last minute and it was the best decision. It truly is the most amazing place i've ever been to. The people there are without a doubt the nicest, friendliest and most accomodating that i've met. The whole area is amazing. Words and pictures do not do it justice. They are determined to be the #1 destination in the world. Here is a list a few of the crazy tidbits about Dubai.
- Building the tallest residential building in the world. The Burj Dubai is estimated top be 3000 Feet Tall when complete.
- Dubai Land which is supposed to be 4 times the size of Disney. 4 TIMES!!!
- Sports City. The biggest sports city in the world.
- Insane Man Made Islands. Palm Islands as well as the World Island (island made in the shape of the world).
- Real Life Jurassic Park. Will have more than 100 animatronic dinosaurs.
- Building the world's largest mall.
- Building the world's largest hotel (will span 10km), 29,000 rooms and $27 billion to build. Managing housekeeping would be a million dollar job LOL.
- Building the World City. Basically it is a large mass of land that will rebuild all the major cities of the world. So you can buy a condo in New York in Dubai. It will be built to look just like the original city. One of the ideas behind the World is to allow film companies to come to Dubai and be able to film entire movies that take place in multiple big cities but film the whole movie in Dubai.
- building the world's largest indoor ski hill
- 60% of all the world's cranes are currently in Dubai. 60%!!!!!
Those are just a few of the interesting facts regarding Dubai. It truly is an absolutely amazing place. We were there for a week and it was definitely not long enough. We will be going back in the near future and and hopefully staying longer. As you can probably tell i can't say enough about it. Beth and I were blown away. Beth is ready to move there.
Anyhow here are the pics. Remember I'm no Dean Capture
Our Cabin on our Virgin Flight from Nassau to London. For the long flight nothing beats a seat that converts into a bed and a cabin that has a bar
Ski Dubai. Indoor skiing in the desert
Dubai's Media City. One of the many skyscraper packed cities they are building.
Condos being build on the Palm Island
View from our first hotel room. We stayed in 4 places including the Burj Al Arab seen in this pic
Pic of the Emirates Palace hotel. Hotel we stayed at in Abu Dhabi for 2 nights. It's known by some as the 2nd 7 Star Hotel in the world.
I didn't know Jeff (from Karups) was staying at the Emirates Palace as well. Must have been a long drive from Detroit.
Pic from our desert dune bashing trip. You go out in an SUV take air out of the tires and then plow thru the desert. Think of a roller coaster ride in an SUV. Very cool. Also did some Sand Boarding.
