We have arrived

We have arrived in Dubai. We nearly didnt make the plane as Kim and Daniel's (the green mamba passport holders in the family) entry visa's arrived just hours before leaving for the airport...

Josh and Dan travelled really well. Bob the builder did the trick for Josh and Dan was lights out after take off until (almost) landing. It was good to catch up with Mel, Phil and family at the airport, who flew on to London.

We arrived at 5 am and walked out to a relatively cool morning - 40 degrees. Dubai is as we left it in June - buildings going up left, right and centre. We can actually see the progress made on some since our first visit. We are staying in a really spacious and comfortable serviced apartment overlooking the Dubai marina and it is a five minute taxi ride to work.

We are all enjoying the pool and did some shopping today at the Emirates Mall. We are off to the local water world tomorrow for some super tube riding and next week the house and domestic helper hunting starts in ernest.

Sorry - no photos - probably only be able to post once we are set up in our house.

Take care.
