John and I finally got certified in scuba diving and it was time to celebrate! So I dug out the coupon and......found out that it expired September 30! OH NOOOOOO!!!!
But I called anyway and got booked with NO PROBLEM at all! We started the adventure with a delicious three course lunch (oh, I needed that) at the Dubai Creek Golf Club. (What's not to like at a golf club, right?) We then took a taxi down to Jebel Ali Golf Club where we boarded the eight seater seaplane! It was soooo exciting!
A little "thumbs up" from the main man and we were off!
For the next forty minutes we were spellbound by the sights! Dubai from above is awesome! Here are some shots of the Dubai Marina -- that place we now call "home"!

 |
| (The tan buildings are Jumeirah Beach Residences that run along the Arabian Sea with the Burj Al Arab in the background.) |
 |
| (This is the south end of the Marina....) |

| (Continuing north through the Marina.) |
 |
| (The Dubai Marina Mall is the circular building and the Address Hotel is attached. The Mall is walkable from our place -- as is the entire length of the Marina. Notice bits of Palm Jumeirah in the background.) |
 |
| (Beautiful Palm Jumeirah.) |
 |
| (The north end of the Marina is where the Marina Walk begins.) |
 |
| (On the beach side of the Marina, in the curve, are Park Island's four towers.) Of course the tour was over way toooooo fast for John and I. But between us, we took over 300 pictures! Don't worry -- I'll spare you from seeing all of them! But I will post more tomorrow.....cuz they are amazing to see! Seawings Tour -- I highly recommend it to everyone!*! |
