Ahh... Madinat Jumeirah Resort, heaven on earth. Without the generosity of Chris and Mary Beth, we wouldn't know this oasis existed. I obviously stole this picture from Google images, but I wanted you to see it in all its glory. It's a BEAUTIFUL resort. So beautiful, in fact, that movie stars such as Ben Affleck and Tom Cruise stay there when they're in Dubai (we're basically famous!). It's the most spectacular property surrounded by water I've ever seen. Instead of walking, you are transported by boat. It's so lovely that you forget about the heat and humidity and drift away to Dreamland as you float along the canals. It's one of the greatest places I've been.
Here are the pictures we took with Casey's iPhone. Again, it's way too humid to try taking pictures with the real camera. These will have to do for the time being.

Stole this one, too.
The view of the Burj Al Arab is one of the best in Dubai.

It's magical, isn't it?
Mary Beth and Chris, Casey's parents' friends from way back when.
How lucky are we to know people in Dubai?!

Our second chauffeur - so happy!
This night was so special to us because it showed us the glamorous side of Dubai. Before this, we were sleeping our lives away in the hotel, trying desperately to get caught up. Mary Beth and Chris showed us the side of Dubai we've been dying to see since April, and it was nothing short of amazing.
