Last Day in Dubai...

So... Here I am, already on my last day in Dubai... It's so clichéd to talk about how time flies when you're having fun, but it really really does. Although, as much as it feels like I just got here, it also feels like my time Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand was months ago...

We spent my last weekend day here in relatively laid-back fashion, cooking up brunch (including Smoked Salmon Pizzas), watching a few classic episodes of The Simpsons, then doing a bit of prep for an awesome dinner. Our Seafood Extravaganza dinner feast was quite a success, I would say, and a nice way to celebrate my last night in Dubai. Alicia and Stanley are back at work today, and I'm packing up for my trip to Portland.

It's been such a great experience seeing Dubai and getting an idea of what life here is like for my big brother and his special lady friend. I still selfishly hope they'll wake up one day and say "Hey! We should totally move to Boston!" but I'm glad to have had the chance see how nice their life is over here and to get a better sense of why we may not be seeing them living back stateside any time too soon...
