What kind of stuff would you do for R&R? Wild couple three years. I remember back when you were talking about going. Glad you made it back and have some nice coin in your pocket for being over there.

Sometimes I came home, other times I flew Nymph to Dubai and we stayed there for 10 days or so. There's a large Indian population in Dubai so we were able to get some really good Indian food. One time we met there and went to Thailand for 5 days. Went to Ko Chang, an island off the coast near Trat. Had a bungalow to ourselves with a view of the beach, palm trees, water and other islands. Awesome views and great place to stay.

That's awesome! I've been to southern Thailand and it really has ruined in a way a lot of spots. For what you get for you money there it's one of the best times I've ever had.

Did you feel completely safe in Dubai to do things? Is everything really expensive there or can you have a good time for decent amount of money?

Yes, completely safe. None of the terrorists mess with the Emerits. Not all that expensive either. Dinner out for two was usually around $20. We stayed at the Premier Inn, a Scottish chain I believe, for $40-70 a night depending on time of year. Seven story hotel, 6 years old, pool on the roof, free internet, sports bar, restaurant, a shuttle bus that would drop you off at one of two malls or a grocery store and had pick-ups during the day. The grocery store was a 10 minute walk so we got a ride there, got groceries, then walked back. Fridge in the room so we had breakfast and lunch there and went out for dinners. Hotel was 10 miles outside of the city so we didn't have a lot of traffic, which is what we wanted. Two nice Indian restaurants within walking distance and several other restaurants as well.
