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!
Masalam to Edelman UAE
So, my last day at work was perfectly timed with the end-of-financial-year extravaganza. It not only meant a half day of actual work wrapping up things, but also a fun way to spend a few final moments with the fabulous Edel-crew (guns + karting = good, wholesome fun). There was a surprise, amazing send off…
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…
Indiana Jones Brought to Life in Petra
Normally, you’re not especially excited to get up before 6 a.m. But, when you know the temperature is steadily rising, and you’ll be able to see one of the wonders of the world with very little tourists around, you get motivated. That’s what we did to see Petra, and have no regrets. We were the…
More Goodbyes – At the End
So, today marked our last day in the UAE. And, by the time most of you read this, we may already be Stateside. By mid-month, we had ramped up our goodbyes, enjoying people, sights, sounds and tastes for what was likely the last time. Here are a few to remember… There will be more wrap…
Enjoying Life at the Dead Sea
Though we packed in several sites with just one weekend in Jordan, our first home base was all about relaxation. The Movenpick Dead Sea Resort had a “tucked away” feel, with its namesake body of water the big draw. Being in the Dead Sea was like no other experience. The water was undeniably salty –…
Celebrating Life in the Home of the Dead Sea
Another birthday, another “excuse” to cash in frequent flyer miles and take a final Middle Eastern adventure. This time, to nearby Jordan for the weekend! Our first port of call was Madaba, a historic city with some Christian heritage, to be followed by relaxation at the Dead Sea and trekking in Petra. Not a bad…
