A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.

Yes in July, but I have been here over six times before this move. Most times passing through and spending some days before continuing my journey to Nigeria my home country.
Its beautiful right. After a while it looks normal. The first time I visited my neck kept turning every which way but now that I live here it seems the new normal 🙂
Wow, you definitely are abundantly blessed. The view has no words that I can even write. I just looked up packages to Dubai and it’s definitely expensive. Some of the hotels had me staring at photos like your neighborhood. Is that considered the downtown of Dubai?
They vary based on location and hotel. The ranges were $1600 and upwards to $5k or more on economy flights. I’m sure if God wants me to visit, the blessing will come. Continued blessings, Emma
Besides transiting through the airport, have never been to Dubai. Have been to nearby Doha many times which judging from pictures I’ve seen, appears to be a mini-Dubai. 🙂
You should try to stopover sometime Bob. I am sure that you will do your camera a lot of justice. I have been to Doha briefly. It’s pretty too but they are far more conservative and less flamboyant than Dubai.
Beautiful. Sorry for being away from your blog for such a long time. December’s been a crazy month so far and I expect it to drive me totally made before it ends. I just saw your gravatar profile and it said Houston, Texas; so I was wondering if you’ve moved from Dubai…
I understand perfectly. Not a problem. I am still in Dubai. You know I was living in Houston, Texas before moving here in July and I have no idea how to change that detail.

I love that twisted building…the architect either had a great imagination or too many sips of the bubbly.

😉 My thoughts too Patrick. They have some things that makes me question the state of mind of the designer when he was doing it!

It is a lovely place and maybe a bit expensive. I have no idea yet what the travel packages cost.

I visited Dubai once and it was so damn hot. Loved the city but the heat was unbearable. Wrong timing I guess.
