It’s time for some Marina cruising. My Uncle & Aunt are visiting from Australia on their Fly By Dubai visit. They’re heading home after a month long whirlwind tour of Europe and have only three days to explore all Dubai has to offer.… Read the rest
And here we go! Again. A little week long interlude for mid term break has seen us escaping from Dubai on the Costa Diadema. We are in for some R&R. Actually, I will be working and there is some concern over the current COVID-19 pandemic but, here we are.… Read the rest
