After our months of planning we have finally arrived at our first destination. As most of our friends and family know now we have been planning this trip for nigh on 9 months now and it has crept up on us FAST!!! We look forward to sharing our experiences with you all and any comments or contact is welcomed to give us a reality check!!! It feels like a fairy tale at the moment!

After a luxury plane journey (courtesy of Dolores, thanks!!!) we landed at 4.50 in the wee hours of the morning. It was 37 degrees cel even at that time! After a short nap we braved the heat (by then reaching the mid forties) and took a trip to the burj al arab for afternoon tea. It was booked a month in advance by Dee and boy was it worth the wait. We were treated to a 6 course lunch and were allowed to explore the hotel which was really something……

We then rounded up our day with cocktails beside the beach and a quick stroll through the markets.

Will try to post again over the next few days…….so far so good.
