Before I could even unpack from my last Japan trip, I was whisked off to Dubai in spring with Naturally Plus on a 7 hour flight via the AMAZING Emirates that had free WIFI on board, yo!!! I LOVED IT!!! And because I had watched practically every movie under the sun that is a new release, I had the opportunity to listen to Madonna’s latest album Rebel Heart instead and loved that too. Definitely going to get it the soonest chance I can.

Emirates Airlines is just wonderful. The food ain’t great but everything else was super cool. I can’t wait to sit First Class.

Dubai was a city that everyone said there’s nothing in Dubai, nothing to do, nothing to see, but what the heck, it was a team trip so let’s just do it. It is the COMPANY that counts after all, not where you go. And I am so glad I went because the company was nothing less of spectacular (we laughed till we cried) and Dubai was incredibly interesting with SO MUCH to do!!! I am now sure that EVERY place in this world has a story to tell no matter how boring it may seem. After hearing the ins and outs of Dubai, it is actually a place I want to revisit!!! Can you believe it?

All aboard Emirates E-377 to Dubai. We sat together, my girlfriends and I, all 15 of us. I don’t usually go around posting my photo but I wanted you to check out my new Tom Ford glasses. Heck, I have changed glasses 3 times in the last year!!! My power keeps reducing because of Super Lutein consumption and I start getting headaches after awhile warranting the switch. Friends ask me why I don’t just change the lenses so I can use back my Chanel glasses and I ask them what I would see then when the Chanel goes in for the lens change? Hehehe. It’s just an excuse to get new glasses! The Tom Ford ones are QUIRKY!!

Did I tell you how cool Emirates was?

The company welcomed us really nicely with Naturally Plus logos everywhere. The water, the airplane and bus seats, every single venue we attended from the Hyatt Dubai to Hard Rock Cafe Dubai, ALL had Naturally Plus welcome banners and logos on their big screens.

Pleasantly surprised that we were staying at the Hyatt Dubai.

I found the shower a tad too small but it was interestingly circular (tubular) in shape.

My bed! With a certificate holding my name! My roomie was great. She did not snore and does not take hours and hours in the washroom.

Party of the view outside our room window. One side city and one side sea view. But it wasn’t the resort kind of sea view more the port with ships kind of sea view.

That very night that we arrived, we were taken aboard a cruise ship to dine. My aunt’s friend in Dubai asked whose yacht will you be at? Hehe. Ours was a public cruise ship. Perhaps one day we will have our own yacht again.

There was a super twirler dancer who spun a million times round and round and never got dizzy twirling his skirt that lit up. My aunt said they go into a trance hence why they do not fall down. The public tried twirling and within a few circles were dizzy already.

Le Creuset pots and pans everywhere at the Hyatt. Breakfast was pretty good with a wide selection of quality food.

My colleague Dednise, who is in the poultry business and one passionate girl about environmental conservation.

See? Even the wet wipes they gave us had Naturally Plus on it.

One for the road. This is us just before we headed off to the desert for our dune bashing. We were nervous, anxious, excited, all at once. Part 2 about dune bashing at the desert later. It was probably our best time in Dubai.

Was Dubai worth it? TOTALLY!!! I got to learn so much about the city and the people and got to see things and experience things that I never would have otherwise. Thankfully, the weather hadn’t yet reached heat wave hotness and despite the little mini fans we were given, we hardly needed it. I missed my kids but heck, they did not miss me. OK they did. When I returned, T2 was like a little lost puppy who kept following me around to snuggle up. Bless her. But the person who missed me the most of all would be the HUBS!!! Oh, yes!!! 2 weeks taking care of 2 school going kids is not a super cool breeze!!!

So grateful to him allowing me to go though. This is what it’s about. Independence, happiness, family. I do not need more.
