Happy New Year 2008!

We celebrated the New Year in Dubai this year! It was crazy to wake up New Years Day and realize friends and family were just about to welcome it!

Hot Air Balloon and a Faluka

The hot air balloon ride was one of the most exciting things we did on the trip. Although we had to pull ourselves out of bed during the wee hours of the morning--it was worth it!! You could see the Nile Valley and compare it's lush farmland with that of the barren desert next door! Later that evening, we went on a Faluka ride down the Nile River. What a trip.

Some Egyptians

Egypt was SPECTACULAR! It was so fascinating to be standing next to something about 5,000 years old! All those pictures and things you learned in your 5th-grade text book--they're all real!! :) The contrast between Dubai and Egypt was really astounding. The one being SO new and the latter surviving for thousands of years. It really was an experience never to be forgotten.

Two Dudes from Dubai!!!

We had such an AMAZING time in Dubai!! We did everything from fine dining, to desert sand duning, to skiing indoors! We really had a blast. Enjoy!
