“Better late than never” rang true as we celebrated Medz’s birthday…exactly 3 months later than planned (the original date got delayed, and one thing led to another…and so on). A full night out in the Souk was a fitting celebration. With one of the best birthday “songs” we’ve ever seen, the night rounded out with…

Sir Elton in Abu Dhabi
In our 11th concert in only 18 months, we were treated to the ballads of Sir Elton John on Yas Island. He did not disappoint, rolling out some #1 hits along with some lesser-known tunes. He sounded great, so we couldn’t have asked for more (except a backstage pass perhaps). All in all, a great…
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…
Elephants – Thailand’s Pride!
As part of our outing with the Pibulsonggram family, we visited Nong Nooch Park just outside of Pattaya. Complete with colorful characters and some entertaining shows that showcased Thailand’s incredibly deep culture, the day proved to be a great time. The highlight for us – by far – was the elephants. They could do everything…
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…
Underwater Ansel Adams in the Making
Thanks to our new underwater camera, no longer am I restricted to only taking thousands of pictures of sunsets and plates of food. Now I can take as many as I want under the deep blue sea. Unfortunately a camera does not a photographer make. So to get better, Meg and I enrolled in an…
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…
