Dubai... (Updated)

(Actually, this did not turn out to be a PPP post because DUMBO nomadicmom haven't even got the blog and post correct in the PPP website. BODOH or not?? hehehe..but kept it here anyways since I really did check out on Dubai for our trip)

Since this is my first PPP post, think Dubai is a good topic.

S2 whose in Year 2 in BIS has a sweet classmate who has just moved to Dubai in December 2006. Prior to their move, the family did a pre-visit to check out on the property in Dubai. Some of us mommies had a coffee morning after the pre-visit and she conveyed that she was really really excited with the move. She spoke about actual snow skiing in a mall. Who would have thought about skiing in the Middle East? She made everyone very excited, yours truly included. As I mentioned previously, H was supposed to whisk me away for a coupledom holiday... and I actually suggested Dubai. :-) Checked out on Kempinski etc. But, all the hotels were fully-booked. When I spoke to another friend (whose hubby is a hotelier), she was telling me that Dubai is really HOT HOT HOT now. And one would need to book rooms waaaaay ahead.

Anyway, before this friend's recent move, we've heard much about the wonderful properties on the islands that make up The Palm, Jumeirah. David Beckam bought a place there. Plus 'The World'. Look at the photo of The Palm, Jumeirah. It's a real marvel! Don't you think?
