Jenni Y. in Dubai!

Mama Yoder made an impromptu visit to Dubai last week! Much to the delight of me. She bought the ticket and left less than 48 hours later--make the whole family tip our hats to her spontaneity and proving that I really am only a plane ride away.



This is mom's 3rd time in Dubai. The first time was 2 years ago when I was studying abroad. The 2nd time was August 2008 when we (she) slaved away to decorate the new apartment and the 3rd time was finally some decent R&R with Lynnie time.



Here are the highlights:




Mom, John, and I at a 3 hour brunch at the Yacht Club




Mom and I posing in front of the water fountain at the bottom of the Burj Dubai (World's Tallest Tower)



At the beach in Fujairah (another emirate) that mom compared to the "Puerto Rican slums"




On Beauteux--the creek boat cruise.



Camels on the beach in front of the apartment. Mom loves camels.



Overall, it was a great trip and just what we both needed to get through the next few months until I come home.


Until next time Mama!
