It was my first time to visit Dubai by chance, because it was my boyfriend's business trip between 09Apr and 12Apr07 and since I work for an airline, then I bought myself a stand-by air-ticket (Emirates) to go along with him. We stayed at the 5* Crowne Plaza hotel and it's situated at the financial area, on the Sheikh Zayed Road. We managed to visit a few places in Dubai: Jumeirah Beach Park, Mall of Emirates, Ski Dubai, Dubai Museum, Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Gold Souk, Old Souk, Dubai Marina, Mercato (Shopping Mall), Deira City Centre (Shopping Mall) etc...

We went to Curacao between 30Aug06 and 05Sep06 straight after the amazing trip to Aruba. Curacao looks similar to Amsterdam with all the colorful buildings! There is a floating market at Willemstad they sale fishes, fruit and vegetables as well! There are 2 must-visit beaches called: 1. Porto Marie - there is a small entrance fee, USD3 per person including 1 soft drink from the bar. But on the weekend is USD6 per person this also include 1 soft drink.
