Travelling with my brother Bob from California to Dubai on the Emirates airline. The plane was the humongous A380 Airbus. We travelled in economy and both of us were shocked at the price for economy seats, what was worse, though, was we sat next to an inoperative emergency door. It was a long flight, so all the movies they played were a welcome relief, plus we watched T.V. and listened to music. The food was better than my brother and I though it would be, that kinda of made up for the price of economy seats. I stayed up the entire 16 hour flight to beat the jet-lag, and my brother took little catnaps. I occupied myself, when not watching a movie, with learning my new Nikon D3 camera.
We arrived and checked in at one of the Dubai UAE luxury hotels and where stunned with the sheer opulence of the lobby. We actually arrived about an hour ahead of schedule, which was great, because that gave us more time to relax before our Arabian Adventure started. The view from our balcony looked over the ocean, it was absolutely spectacular. Dubai is an amazing sight. So, modern and alive. We found out that all the rooms here face the beach, no wonder why the staff just looked at us quizzically when we wanted to make sure our room faced the ocean. After we unpacked, we had time to grab a quick bite to eat, before our tour bus came by to pick us up. My brother and I decided to start our vacation off with a nice bottle of champagne.
I can’t think of a nicer way to spend time with my brother, we’re so busy all the time back in the States that we never have time to hang out together. When he suggested this trip, at first I thought about the expense, but what is money compared to being with my most favorite person in the whole world.
