2007 London-Dubai Vacation : Surprise! Welcome to the Burj Al Arab!

I’ve officially landed in the middle east in the enchanting city of Dubai, UAE. This is amazing! It’s late here so I donr’t have much time to write (almost 1am Dubai time / 2pm Tuesday Phoenix time). Jet lag has me a bit tired, but really I’m also really excited at the same time. My friend Nick surprised me and our other friend Luke by pulling up to the entrance of the Burj Al Arab for a 2 night stay! This is apparently the only 7 star hotel in the world). Damn Nick, you definitely went all out for your 30th birthday. This feels like a dream, like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I thought it was some kind of joke at first, but it turns out we’re staying here for the first two nights.
