Goodbye Dubai

Goodbye Burj Khalifa Tower, world's tallest building.

Goodbye Burj Al Arab, 7-star (really just 6.99999999) hotel.

 Goodbye Skybar.

Goodbye yet another Shanks sink.

 Goodbye yummy treats.

 Seriously, goodbye yummy treats.

Hello LIGHTS evaporated milk in the airport?

Pig adds to the entourage

IT'S SO FLUFFFFFY!

Dessert first

Had to do it.

Asian chips & dip.

Even the Asians know you need a biscuit with your tea ... Mmmm green tea & cardamom.

I prefer mountains of food.

Dubai Dreams cocktail . . . from the sky.

Pig in awe . . . for different reasons

Slopes in the desert, sure makes sense, wait a second.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan Mosque (Grand Mosque) ... Takes your breath away saying it & seeing it.

Floating dinner

My ride awaits.

Dinner cruising.

New stuff, old stuff

2nd favorite souvenir.

Sounds about right.

Says Lil' Jen. And why shouldn't it?

Dubai Museum, time to get my history and creepy mannequin on.

Buy me something sparkly?

Pig going up

This is the location of Piggy's near death experience where she slipped off her perch and almost had a 124 story free fall into the pool below.

Going up was not nearly as exciting as almost unexpectedly going down.

Fancy schmancy telescope.

 My big chance is here! Time to top the charts.

Not going to the top of this one. This is as close to Burj Al-Arab as you get without a reservation.

Night Night Pig

Dubai Fountain.

Turn down service. Not sure Pig can think this deeply at this hour.

Gone noodling

Fish? Or cat?

Why so blue?

Not gonna say I'm nervous but this guy seems to have found the door marked exit.

Bearded Dragon, huh? ... Someone is a big fat liar.

Yup ... That's the FINDING NEMO cast if I ever saw 'em.

You jelly?

What a crab.

Shark bait, OO HA! HA!.

They knew we were coming

Fancy personalized hotel. Kinda creepy.

Pig must have

 Most interesting souvenir found yet.

Perfect for all the kiddos I know back home. Mac & Cheese & Donut combo.

 Behold The Golden Souk.

Making friends in low places.

Never seen Pig in a mall before?

Shop 'til you drop and given this mammoth you just may.

Scale model of the Dubai Mall, where I am currently trapped inside.

 Everyone has royal baby fever.

Ever feel as though you're being followed?

Texas ... She never lets me really leave her.

Pig off to UAE

After a little ticket obtaining trouble we literally walked on to the plane. Barely.

Nice to see Emirates has my dental hygiene's back.

Personal media player, USB and plug outlet, and a fancy separate cup holder?!!

PS the toiletries container can also be reused as an iPod case, there was a little outlet for the headphones to escape. Fancy schmancy flying.

Made it! 13,509 km and 15 hours straight of a screaming baby. The baby is lucky it made it.

First meal ... 9 hours after arriving. ANYTHING would've been delicious, even . . .
