One of the most action packed, destructive and funniest camping trips yet. Looking back at these pictures makes me laugh out loud. We didn’t get a picture of the Dukes of Hazard move but for those who saw it will not soon forget.
A visit to Dragon Mart and an unplanned costume is complete in 20 minutes and only a couple hours before the party.
All packed up, a drive through the wadi to get to the main road and above are pictures of things on our way home; a strange house, the usual gas station that looks like a White Castle Burger place, and shops in the town of Masafi.
Prayer time and the sound from the closest mosque bounces off the mountains– very peaceful. It’s getting a bit chilly, tea anyone?
This will be the perfect testing ground for the new camera, a stunning sunset, a great camping spot and a beautiful fire. No need to worry about strange things going bump in the night as we were being watched over by a stone man on the hill.
First camping trip of the season – yay! Will we remember how to do this? What do we bring? There must be a list somewhere . . . where’s the tent? A little climb before sundown and then it’s time to prepare food with fire.
Throwing a Mad Hatter Tea Party for charity is a lot of fun to be a part of! Decorating muffins, selecting and preparing cockails that included tea, shopping for tea cups, painting larger than human sized flowers, staining paper, making “drink me” and ‘smoke me” tags, creating a gigantic mushroom from a patio table, designing an Alice in Wonderland croquet set complete with flamingos and hedgehogs and the list goes on…. 
Most people would not travel half-way around the world for a long weekend but Sandra is not most people. Sandra had four full days in Dubai and we packed them solid with camels, shopping, abra rides, special dinners, breakfast al fresco in the marina, the spa, the creek, Burj Al Arab, Atlantis and even camping (yes, in September!).
From time to time our building sheds one or two of its windows. Twice, that I know of, these windows have hit vehicles parked below. A little concerned about the construction standards . . .
Happy birthday Renee! Wouldn’t miss a theme party! Not wanting to put the costumes to waste, we went to the Cavalli Club after the house party and continued the celebration.
