Dubai Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

2nd day of Ramadan. I got up about 8:30AM and had planned on getting to the Dubai Center for Culture and Understanding in Bastakia for their tour to the Jumeirah Mosque (which was about 20 minutes away). By the time I showered, ate a granola bar, and walked to the office, it was about 9:30. I waited for 10 minutes for a lady to have a phone conv...

DAY 34 THU We booked ourselves out of Locanda Silva and dragged our luggage, a little heavier than when we had arrived, down to San Zaccharia vaporetto stop. We were actually able to help an American couple, less seasoned travellers than ourselves, who were heading towards the airport. The vaporetto took an hour to reach the airport, chugging sl...

It's the beginning of a new month and I've been here for almost two weeks. I seem to have a lower tolerance for annoying things in foreign countries. This week found me cursing out some Lebanese men and being groped at a night club, both of which have caused me to argue with my roommates.

We met a nice little Kenyan boy, named Limlim, who was flying through Dubai to Australia, where foster people were paying for a vacation for him. This little boy was so excited to go on an airplane, it was reall...

After researching several ways to reach Thailand, we found the best option to be an Emirates flight to Auckland with a three month stop over in SE Asia, and one month in Australia. This seemed to make the most sense, except that to get to Bangkok, a one hour flight East, we had to route 5 hours West, stay in Dubai for 13 hours, then return 6 hou...

I ordered my plane ticket from Istanbul to Italy today! As I am not sure who I have told about my summer plans or not, I will explain now. For those who I have told, skip to paragraph #2 (yay! This is like a "choose your own adventure" book!). So this summer I will be in Florence, Italy for roughly 6 weeks teaching English and art to children fr...
