March 28, 2017 at around 0530am they
arrived looking very dapper indeed.
After a 17 hour flight! They’ve
been before of course but this time was different. We were heading off to Europe together and
... well that’s pretty damn neat.
We had a few awesome days before and after
our departure to France. Not many photos
alas, but we had some lovely meals overlooking the marina. I had a sore foot as did Andy so Joey and Wo
did their own thing in the mornings around the marina. What fit things these two are. I’m so proud of my Joey and dad....they are
pretty damn awesome.
Actually, other than doing morning exercise
routines, wanders to the shops and occasionally the beach, Joey and dad going
to the creek on the ferry and back we absolutely did naff all in Dubs. That was the joy, just hanging out. No tourist stuff, just us being us which is
the best way to catch up – to live. And
in Dubai we did just that.
