We’re at the beginning of our next adventure which sees us leaving the UAE, at least for a few weeks.
The last 4 months in particular have been stressful. Through a series of events which I don’t want to go into again, (because we’re over it!), we are both jobless and looking for new opportunities. Over the same time period, our landlord decided that he was selling up and moving back to Greece, so our rented apartment is now on the market.
The past week has been spent wrapping up our responsibilities at our ex-work and also packing up the apartment.
Today, we moved out of the apartment which was made all the easier due to a fantastic removal firm run by the fabulous Mr Mohammed Ali. If you need a fast and reliable removing company, he’s your man – Ph: 050 548 1357. His team arrived at 7:30am, packed up all our furniture and moved it into U-Store Storage by 4pm. I’ve never seen 4 guys work as hard all day – they were fantastic. Our furniture is now packed so well, it could be moved anywhere around the world.
So we’re ensconced in the Jumeirah Beach Hotel until we leave.
Tomorrow, we’re going diving - I've been diving since 1992 and am finally completing my PADI Advanced Open Water certification which I signed up for in October 2004! It’s only 5 dives, but because of all the travelling and work that we’ve had to do over the past couple of years, I haven’t had the chance to finish it.
We fly out to Germany in the wee hours of Saturday morning. J has a few things to tidy up in Berlin, and we also want to spend some time with her kids.
We’re also planning what to do next. We really do want to come back to the UAE, but we’ll have to see how soon that can be.
Blogging will be minimal while we travel, settle in Berlin and get the internet hooked up.
We’ll see you on the other side!

No matter how much I slag this place off, I think the Jumeirah Beach Hotel is lovely and the view is just stunning..lucky!
All the best girls...you will be missed...but not for long, as we will hold you to the promise you made about coming back :)
House, Internet connection and even nice weather are waiting for you in Berlin... we couldn't manage to create such a spectacular view for you, but we'll make up with some cool events during your stay, including the great Berlin Marathon (I believe J participated in this a few years ago!).
So where to next? Will you live in Berlin, or is that just a stopover?

Best of luck. I'm looking foward to your future posts - where ever you may go.
So, this was the move you had addressed a few weeks back?
Great view of the Burj. As always you excel with your pictures. What make? Cyber Shot or Pro?
Get your net hooked up in Germany pronto and please please please stay in touch.
Once you guys are settled down, let me know about the German jazz & classical music scene in one of your posts or emails.
Danke :-)
Best wishes from both of us, Louis & Catherine
Don't stay away too long - and keep posting.
Minimal blogging? What will we do without you? Good luck! Good luck! Good luck! It sounds as if you'll be well taken care of in Berlin, and I look forward to your next Adventure.
I hope everything goes well for you over the next couple of months ...the best of Irish luck to you both and I hope that your next post will be full of good news...take care..
p.s..that 1st photograph is absolutely gorgeous ...
Good luck to you both...Please keep in touch! Looking forward to our next brunch/lunch/shisha together...and please, keep taking those amazing pictures ;)
Quoting the wise words of Ahhnold Schvartzennegger, Gavanah of Kalifoornya who said "You'll be baak"...
hope its sooner than later :)

I hate it when people leave Dubai; anyway, best of luck wherever you go.
Good luck! I'm sure if you want to return to Dubai you will. We have left twice so far, always thinking we would never return; this place seems to have a boomerang effect.
Absolutely all the best to you both, and don't be strangers!
Oh and find me in the blogosphere when you come back to Dubai -- I'll introduce you to the local BSAC diving club.
My laptop has had the nadgers for the past 3 days & I haven't been able to access any blogs (the horror really!!) so I'm stunned to see you're on your way already! Hambagahle (go well) girls & I wish you both all the very best. Please stay in touch?!!

As long as you dont stop blogging, I don't care where you end up. It's always fun to read what you two have to say.
Godspeed.
*Cues up Star Trek The Series opening monologue*
No goodbyes...just see you soon.
Good luck on the new adventure.
Awwwe... I sure hope you all come back around to the Emirates.
Either way, enjoy yourselves.
We are waiting for you to return.
