I am writing from my bathtub at Jumeirah Beach hotel. What is the secret to making a rubber duckie float? So many bath amenities, even goat's milk soap that I am tring out. None of that marble stuff. Bathtub shelfing is blue granite as ia showere step in.

You could melt in that bed, and even the couch pilows are like no other.

Club level is the way to go here. That airport pickup was best in my life. Great checkin. Lovely stroll all up and down the beach and even under the road in the ocean yards from Burj. So many restaurants and nice pools and waterslides and great beach. Check out Latitudes rest. Different country in every room. Weekend bruch oncludes sparling wine and long island tea.

Today will be included breakfast and included Wild Wadi before heading to ship.

Trip over was horrid. Every seat in every section sold. Bulkhead where we were was a fav stretching and chatting spot so no rest. Saw 5 movies and slept 15 nin.

I did the seafood meals and had cold grilled salmon for first meal and huge boiled shrimp for the second.

Todd had chicken (other choice was pasta) and later pizza. I ate his cous cous. It had apricots, dates and almonds. Only free drink in all those hrs was at dinner. Not even soft drinks offered anytime but with the next meal and you had to get ur own water all the time. Bare bones. Loads on the flight going to iraq for work with oil and gas cos. We flew all across iraq and kuwait but never saw anything. Route was up canada over to ireland across france and Russia and Romania and across the holy land and on to iran and iraq. Arrived an hour early. Ride was early and took care of us like u would not believe.

Silversears everywhere

Christmas tree at airport.
