November 6 was the first historic day for Colin being Election Day. Since the State of Virginia didn’t offer early voting, we had a limited window to carry out our civic duty that fateful Tuesday. Luckily, Colin was up for an afternoon nap, which allowed for a trip to the polls. He slept through the…

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…
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…
Another Birthday…3 Months Late
“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…
One More Desert Retreat on the Bucket List
As part of our extended bucket list, we hit up Bab al Shams, a desert resort – something we won’t get anywhere near DC. The heat has definitely started to pick up, and we were feeling it. But, luckily, the massive pool provided refuge during the day. At night, we went to a dinner-show deal,…
Abu Dhabi Birthday, Mexican Style
When the invitation said the dress code was “Mexican”, we were sold. It was only sweeter that the party happened to be celebrating the birthday of our scuba pal Nikky. Check out how Abu Dhabi does tribute to our neighbors to the south (complete with tequila, Chili’s, pin the tail on the Mexican-looking donkey and…
Brunch in Dubai – Perhaps Our Last in the Sister City?
After a slew of brunches upon our arrival to the UAE, we quieted things down a bit. As amazing as all-you-can-eat-and-drink fest can be, it takes away the rest of your day as you recover in a hazzy daze. But, with the pull of some great Edel-friends, we traveled to Dubai for what may be…
