Breakfast at the Burj al Arab Hotel5424 kez bakıldıMarjorie having breakfast. We were surrounded by plants from Hawaii (or from tropical islands) like the naupaka. The poor things were struggling: I suspect the humidity is too low in Dubai, or it's too hot -- or both.%20.%121 %2005

Craig and Marjorie Before Dinner1213 kez bakıldıI just held the camera out with one hand and pressed the shutter. My foot really hurt on this whole trip, but if we didn't take the trip ("bought" with British Airways miles) by December 1, we were told we'd lose it. So I took golf carts everywhere, or sat by the pool. Easy, peasy in Dubai.%20.%121 %2005

Look at the crowd on the beach.%20.%121 %2005
