UAE here we come....

For those who do not know, Burr and I booked a VERY last minute Holiday to Dubai - or more like RAK ( Ras Al Khaimah) in the United Arab Emirates for Christmas about 5 days before Christmas!  Here is the view from our flat the day before we left......looks really warm huh?! 
 Ahhhh....sunshine! I missed you.....View from our room at the Hilton Resort and Spa.
 After a day of sitting on the beach we took a day trip to see the sights of Dubai. First Stop - The ATLANTIS!  This is a picture of the sculpture of Chiuly glass in the lobby.  (Lee - you would have loved it!)
 Picture of us in front of the Atlantis aquarium....little did we know later we would go to the biggest aquarium in the world in the biggest mall in the world!
 Atlantis.
 Picture of Burr in front a huge sculpture at the HUGE mall. The sculpture is of all these divers in a fountain that goes 4 stories down.
 The tallest building in the world! It was really really really tall !
 The fountain show in front of it.
 The third day we took a "desert safari" trip that included off-roading on the sand....I was terrified! See below...
 Terrified... thanks for the pic burr.
 See why I was terrified - there is another car stuck....with the driver attempting to dig the car out!

 Out camel ride.

 The Christmas Tree in the lobby of the resort.
Merry Christmas 2010!!
