michelle la belle

Michelle is here for the next few days.. Who is Michelle you ask? well she is a lovely 28 year old who happens to be my stepdaughter. Michelle is beautiful.. I mean she is stunning. red hair, freakles, blue eyes.. the whole package. Plus she is a talanted artist. ( like her dad ) and a very down to earth lady who is practical, quite at times, has a nice heart and is big in skeletons. I am serious. she likes skeletons. It makes me laugh but she does it tastefully-- now if I had my FLIP ( oh god.. I cant believe it is really gone )

Coming to a BLOG near YOU-- my trip

I am back. I have missed you all. What an incredible trip. I feel so fortunate to have gone and see the amazing things that I seen. Working on my slide show.. stay tuned. Hopefully I will see all of you very soon and can tell you some funny stories.
and based on karin's comment, all of your prayers were answered and my FLIP is officially broken. As you know Pope was in Jordan and I should have asked him to bless it -- oh well. I still have my camera to annoy you with.

VISIT JORDAN

Could not find a computer to blog, and can not download photos. My Flip broke and I am very upset about that.. but Jordan is amazing. The people are So friendly.. they come up to you and want to talk to you .. must have met about a million people -- if you liked Turkey and I know my little blog reader ( you know who you are .. I love you and miss you ).. you will LOVE Jordan.. the RUINS are amazing.. I cant even describe how pretty it is.. and pictures can hardly do them justice... SO plan a trip here. You will NOT be disappointed. It is also cold here .. Cold mornings, nice days and COLD nights.

Skiing anyone?--after all we are in Dubai

Guess what I did today..well I went to the indoor Ski Lift in Dubai (with a complete lift etc). This is not some dinky one. We had a blast. This Ski Resort. ( THE only one in the world ) is inside a EMirate Mall which is a huge mall which could be anywhere in the states, from Starbuks,to Krisy Cream, to KFC, to BABE and FOREVER21. EVERY store possible is in this mall and then there is the resort. IT is very cool and actually cheaper to ski than in the states.

Middle East-Dubai Day Two

To say it is hot here is the understatement of the century...HOT HOT HOT.. very pretty though and very modern. Not too many people in the street and you can totally tell that there is a bit of recession going on here. We went to Dubai Mall ( biggest mall in the world along with its own acquarim), Dubai Museum, The 7 Star Hotel which you can NOT go there unless you are staying there.. and saw some really cool sky skrapers with the most unusual shapes. My cousins have been super nice and we been eating non stop. Oh well

MiddleEast Trip-Day One Dubai

Made it..Got searched big time with a very serious non smiling woman who went through everything ( I mean EVERY THING) in my suitcase with her bare hand ( no gloves )- but overall a very pleasant journey. 16 hours with about 600 channels and about 200 movies. of course used that to fall asleep. Slept all the way there and got picked up by my cousin who have not seen for about 25 years. very nice. very hospitable. City looks amazing. Having a great time with SL,Jenny and her family.
