We've Arrived!

The pool/bar area



Our beach!

 After some delay in writing I'm finally able to log on and write! LOTS has happened since my last post- we are settled in the hotel and have found a place to live. I have posted some pics here of the place- it is on The Palm (will add a link with info on blog) and we have a partial sea view...it's only about 1500 sq feet but has a great outdoor area with a pool, bar, restuarant and of course, the beach!  It was very appealing because it is fully furnished and has everything we need in it. I've attached some pics. The prices here have gone down considerably over the past 3 years ( just like the US) but they are still much higher than KC!

We are hoping to move in this weekend. The week in Dubai runs from Sunday-Thursday so that is when Chip works and the kids are in school. All the days are running together right now anyway as we try to get a bank account, a car, a place to live and all the other things that need to be done. The kids are going to their school tomorrow just for observation..so we'll see how that goes!

The view from our balcony - you can see the Burj Al Arab which is the only seven star hotel in the whole world
