Vacation Time!

I love taking time out to spend with myself, this is something I've been doing for a couple of years and i love it. I get to reflect, learn some more about myself and be quiet cause sometimes, you just gotta be quiet.

Anyways, I had the opportunity of spending some alone time for a week....in Dubai!!!! It was awesome and a well needed vacation. I was there for a week but I wish I could have stayed longer. Dubai is such a gorgeous city I can't wait to go with my girls.

I really enjoyed being a tourist and exploring the city completely on my own. Like my friend; Ms. Pearl did during our U.K vacay earlier this year, I took some notes.

1. I noticed not a lot of women worked... (their hubby's must be rich)

2. Shoes? Who wears those? Everyone wore sandals or slippers. Being the shoe addict that I am, best believe I noticed that.

3. They really take the ''for ladies and children only'' seriously. On the buses and trains, there are sections for just ladies and children. I witnessed a man (tourist, of course) standing in 'our' section, some lady called him out so fast I was embarrassed for him. I wonder how the youths socialize. Hmmm

4. Unlike Lagos, Nigeria or Atlanta, Ga..Cobb County to be exact, where were the policemen? Non-existent!!! I saw some security guards but they ain't real police (JK!!!) Then again, Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world so maybe that's why?!

5. If you think the ladies in SATC2 that were wearing the fabulous clothes underneath their hijab were just for the movie, you're so wrong! These Arabs are too fly!!! From their raybans to Louis Vuitton purses to Louboutins, these women definitely had it going on.

Before I knew it my one week was over and I was on the plane home. If you need a place to visit, you definitely want to discover Dubai.


Here are some pictures from my trip.

This is the Burj Khalifa. The tallest building in the world. I got to get up to the 124th floor which is the highest they will let tourists.
