Dubai, there is no way to summarize the lifestyle over here; there are definite ups and downs, with high highs and low lows! Over the past 10 months I’ve joined a running club that I love, ran many races including, two 10K’s, the Creek Relay, the Dubai Half Marathon, the RAK Half Marathon and the Dubai Marathon. I also joined a women’s soccer league, which has been the best thing I've done since moving here. I've also enjoyed the big city life of fancy dinners and luxurious hotels, which along with that comes the high prices, traffic and crazy taxi rides. The weather has been much like life in general here, horrifically unbearable and then really great. The beaches are beautiful and I’ve had lots of opportunities to travel; including Sri Lanka, Doha, Jordan, Oman and Beirut. I've also attended sporting events, including the Dubai Desert Classic, World Cup Horse Races, World Cup 2010 Qualifier soccer match between Australia and Iraq, a major tennis event, plus we saw David Gray and my favorite, Bon Jovi. I’ve met tons of interesting and amazing people, along with people that I would be happy to never see again. Work. That’s about all I want to say about that.
I'm definitely ready to get on the plane, it's just under 40 hours! Today is the kids last day of school, then we have our ES Happy Hour, then I head right to the Westin wine bar to meet Liz and then our soccer party is at some all you can eat/drink dinner... what is it about all you cans in Dubai! It should be fun, but I'm sure the next morning work won't be. I am literally counting down the minutes!
