Bab Al Shams

Tory and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary last weekend by spending a relaxing night at Bab Al Shams, Desert Resort and Spa. We had a great time and below are a few of the shots from our stay.

Cheers,

January to March 2008

Greetings, and apologies for the belated update. Below are a few pics from our past few months in Dubai (in reverse chronological order as you scroll down). The pictures tell the story but it has been a busy Q1 2008 for me, the work highlight of which was a week long trip to London at the end of Jan-start of Feb that also enabled me to catch up with some mates in London and attend a New Year Dinner at the Oxford and Cambridge Club at Pall Mall. The bad news is that Tory's employer was forced to close its business in Dubai due to adverse global finanical conditions. The good news is that she was able to head back to Brisbane for just over a week in March to attend a wedding, christening and her sister, Becca's birthday party. Also, her CV was well received by the Dubai job market and after numerous work offers, she has found work in the same building as me! We are both busy and well and psyching each other up for the hot summer months about to hit us. Thankfully, Tory has upped the anti on the home decorating front of late and our apartment is looking very comfortable. We wish you all the best from Dubai and as always extend a warm invitation to visit.

Cheers,
D&T
