In anticipation of the sad departure of Corianna, part of the Edel-crew headed to Dubai’s Healthcare City for an all-you-can-eat dim sum feast for a fitting send off (excess is the name of the game in the UAE). Corianna is now just returned Stateside, and the UAE will never be the same! On a related…

Great Viz in the Andaman Sea
Top of the list of things to do in Thailand was to experience to crystal clear waters a diver normally only can dream of. While we would have loved to gotten out more, we spent a day in the waters around Koh Rok. Thanks to our hosts Sea Bees Diving – conveniently right on our…
Chillin’ in Southern Thailand
A stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, we flew an hour south to Krabi and traveled along the coast to settle at Anantara’s Si Kao resort. Without much planned except a day out in the crystal blue seas, we relished every moment before our eventual return to Abu Dhabi…
Sawasdee, Bangkok!
After what seemed like the quickest overnight flight ever, we arrived at BKK for a week in Thailand, our first 2012 vacation. It was no rest for the weary, however, as we headed straight to the hotel for a quick shower and then out for the day. We enjoyed a great tour with our guide…
From Suffield to Bangkok
Best friends are sometimes hard to see, especially when they often live halfway across the world. Thanks to our new geographic location, high school bud Pepe and I were suddenly only a 6 hour flight away. So, highlight number one of our trip to Thailand was definitely time with the Pibulsonggram family! We were treated…
The Road to Abu Dhabi
Traveling back and forth from Dubai at least a few times a week, I have the commute down. I know I should pass Etihad Plaza – our former home – in about 20 minutes. Once I hit Ghantoot, I’m just a few minutes from the Abu Dhabi/Dubai border. And crossing into Dubai, I’ve got another…
Our Desert Trek in the Empty Quarter
We enjoyed our stay at Qasr al Sarab so much for our wedding anniversary last year, that we absolutely had to go back. We had the luxury of cooler weather this time around, so decided to take advantage with a trek around the vast desert surrounding us. Check out our escapades…
Virtual Dubai at Your Fingertips
It appears that all those time-lapsed videos have been one-upped by a super cool virtual tour of Dubai (well, part of Dubai at least). This is the area of town that we hang out in most, as they are the closest neighborhoods to Abu Dhabi, and also near the location of Edelman’s Dubai office. Take…
Diving with Pilot Whales (Sort Of)
We just enjoyed a great weekend of diving with some friends and the crew from NYU. While we’ll soon be sharing our underwater adventures in the next post, we had an added bonus after the diving was done. On our way back to the port in Dibba, we met a few dozen new friends –…
