Escaping the winter in England seems like a good excuse to get away to sunnier climes and as I have said before I am lucky with the locations my kids have chosen to live ...so here I am in Dubai at Suzanne's for a month. It is now 10 years since I lived here and the changes have been enormous and seem to continue. On my last visits I tried out the new metro and linking busses to get around - this ... Read Full Entry

Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people. Travelling alone lots of the time I am never lonely ..there is always the travelblog to keep me company. Planning for future trips and onwards now. Don't let the grass grow under you feet. ... full info

I hope to visit Dubai someday...
back in 2008, just before the global recession hit, I was offered a job as project manager for 2 40 story towers with associated marina, etc. The recession cancelled that project. But I've never given up on the idea to visit someday. Thanks for your informative blog.

Escaping the Winter!
10 years is a long time in a place like Dubai. They've been busy making it the biggest and the best. It is always interesting to go back to a place you've been a decade before. Some sad impressions and others impressive. Enjoy the time with Suzanne and come our way soon.

Terrific!
So good to see how you are back on your travels, Lynne! Love the pics too! I'm going to be housebound for a while, as I have smashed my femur/hip and have had extensive surgery. Good thing I have a pleasant view from the house! All my lovely friends have been so kind to me! Let's hope I can be mobile in a few more weeks! I was hoping to get to Singapore this year, as my son and his wife and kids have just moved there. Fingers crossed!
