Life in Sunny Dubai

SURPRISE!

Wow. Where do I start about today?!

Was up before the alarm and ready to leave home when I found out rachelwhynot and her friends' flight had landed. G & I haven't been to pick someone up from the airport for AGES, and lots has changed, the hourly rate the biggest item to note!

We met up with Eileen & Verna and headed straight to their hotel to see if they could get an early check-in. They did! So, after collecting all the car parts Eileen had carried over, we left them to freshen up and went to Volvo to deliver the new parts and car!

Back again to pick up Eileen & Verna for lunch which was on our side of town. Just before turning in to the lunch venue, G said that a friend who lives nearby had something to give me for my birthday and I had to go and collect it. I said I had already been in touch with her and told her I'll see her next week, but G said that we had to do it today.

Well, I arrived at the door and the next thing I knew, a number of friends - mainly from work there! Farzan, G, and even Eileen had been conspiring and planning a whole surprise party for me!

I've had an afternoon of friends, food and fun! Some of them had cooked for the occasion. It was a very touching gesture and they even pooled together and got me a new phone and sound bar! There were two cakes - chocolate and carrot! Some food/cake has come home with us.

We chilled out for a bit before going to Dubai Mall to see the fountain and laser shows, and as Dubai is heading towards summer, Eileen & Verna loved the fact that it is possible to sit outside and eat. We got super seats with unhindered views of the fountain and got to watch several shows. A long day for our guests but they have done really well!
