As many of you know (or have guessed from various blog posts), we did not return from the Abu Dhabi alone. No. In fact, by the time we touched down in the U.S., Megan was already six months pregnant. Baby Plum, as we affectionately call him or her (we are going to be surprised) due…

Final, Final Goodbyes – Wrap Up of the Rest
In a whirlwind of a last few weeks, we soaked in as much as we could across Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Here’s the collection of our final adventures not previously shared right here on meganandbrian.com!
Saying Goodbye to the Scuba Crew
One of the hardest goodbyes was to our dear friends known as the Wolfpack, our scuba crew. But, we made the most of our last week together with three soirees. While they didn’t involve heading 20 meters under water, they were equally – if not more so – entertaining with a birthday party, all-you-can-eat-and-drink Chinese…
NYU Sailing Adventures on the High Seas
With the “band breaking up”, the NYU Abu Dhabi Finance Team decided to have one last hurrah by way of an amazing dinner cruise. Setting sail out of Dubai Marina, we headed to open waters for some sun, dinner and quality time before two of us headed back to the US of A. As a…

A Perfect 4.0
Ok I admit it – I just celebrated my 40th birthday. Yes, 40. And while the prospect of doing so didn’t exactly sit well with me, my beautiful wife made sure it was celebrated in style. The “Weekend of Brian” kicked off with a check-in to the newly opened Park Hyatt Resort on Saadiyat Island,…
Staying Busy
So, we’ve had a few adventures over the past month that may not warrant a full-on blog post. But, they were so much fun that we decided to show the love for our nearest and dearest. “B” has been the theme, with ballet, brunches, beverages out and Brewhahas…
Kingpin
So how do you settle a friendly rivalry between the IT and Finance Departments at NYU Abu Dhabi? At the bowling alley of course! And so it was set – Finance vs. IT, live from Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi. The team with the highest average would be declared the champ. Competition was intense…
