I am SO excited!!!!!!!

CustardTart · May 22, 2009

Just got a call from DH to tell me about an upcoming business trip he needs to do at short notice. He suggested as it's after my last exam that I go with him and we add a couple of days on at the end!!! SO I've just booked my UC flights with VA (using his miles so just cost £245 in fees) to.....

...........DUBAI!!!!!

We leave on May 31st and return the following Sunday... I absolutely cannot believe it as I was only talking with Claire (Pinky166) about Dubai yesterday!!! Weird coincidence or what...? :faint:

Anyway, I don't know where we'll be staying and I know I won't see that much of him BUT I DON"T CARE - it's going to be fab... :goodvibes

So there it is. Thanks for reading as I just had to share... :grouphug:

I KNOW!!!!

No, I've never been before tho' I have been loving the ads I've seen on TV lately... DH has just sent me a list of hotels his company use so I'm going to check them out and send him my preferences...

Where have you stayed, Claire???

I've also decided to do a couple of things on my own when he's working - there some interesting city tours that I might go for... :goodvibes

I'm so over-excited I've had to cancel the gym... :rotfl2:

We had friends staying at the nearby Madinat Jumeirah Resort which was lovely too.

What resorts are on the list?

There's quite a few - my personal fave is Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa but I don't mind any of the others TBH. How can I - it's a free holiday!!! :yay:

Got to organise the dogs going to kennels now... :rolleyes:

jackieleanne · May 22, 2009

What fantastic news. DBF is also waiting on a Dubai contract at his company that should mean him having to go to Dubai, I keep saying to him if your going to Dubai I'm going with you. I need a holiday plus he'd be paid with expenses so only have to pay for me.

Gaynor · May 22, 2009

How lovely, it's on my list of places to visit. You'll have a fantastic time :goodvibes
