Dibba` Indian Ocean


Our weekend getaway...was superb.Sorry it's been awhile since i've posted. My poor blog is getting ignored. Amy and Amira took care of little miss for the weekend, so we decided to take a weekend trip to Rotana Resort&Spa. We managed to muster up the strength to avoid any potential accidents or killing of pedestrians(believe me, it's easy to do.) The Road traveled was a confusing one, we were to avoid Dubai traffic so we took an alternate route. The signs..the roundabouts...that seemed to last forever made you feel like you were having another spout of deja-vu. We finally stopped, "Where are we"? Well, we were right, but our directions were "after roundabout, straight, straight and finger whip gesture suggesting a turn somewhere. We finally arrived to Dibba, and it was now 11:45 at night. As we were checking in, Jeff meandered to the Bar to notably discover a barload full of Harley Davidson's cruisers. He nearly crapped eggrolls. We were lead to our Room that was overlooking the Indian Ocean, slippers in front of the bed waiting to be cradled by our rough feet. I was in heaven...Boat trips to the local island, free sea-kayaking,snorkeling and waterskiing..and much more I was in instant overload mode. We decided to go down to the Pub for a coctail..and were greeted by a guy named Jerry who was from the Southwest parts of England. The vibe was colored by a funky band..and the leather worn by people seemed to remind me of home. Oh how we kicked back and enjoyed our evening while sharing stories with others from all over.
