[stevewool]

a lot of thinking and what to do, but yes its done, just got to plan the desert trips and seeing the night sky from the desert is something i am looking forward to

[Terpe]

Wow, well done Steve .......happy hols

[andy222]

Not a place I would choose to visit but I wish you a great holiday and a safe return Steve.

[stevewool]

thanks all, to tell the truth Andy i would have loved to go to the phils, but i was torn about going so far for a holiday and i thought it would be wrong to enjoy myself there while there are thousands suffering, just my way of thinking about it,
I still need a holiday, Ems sister is there and Ems has not seen her for over 6 years , as long as i can do some of the things that i would like to then all will be happy i am sure

[andy222]

You have a point steve. Good luck to you mate. I think my first trip when my Mrs gets here will be to Norway and meet my sister in laws and maybe fit the Northern Lights in.

I'm sure you'll have a great time, new year in Dubai is a blast. Appreciate that it's a significant distance between Abu Dhabi and Dubai but there are plenty of things to do in Abu Dhabi worth seeing, including Ferrari World if you like cars.
