spending some time in London

got the opportunity to spend the next 3 weeks in London for training, and I am sure as soon as I get back the heat will have come on in full force in the sandbox. weather has been spotty here in the london area, but some rain and wind and non-humid sunshine is welcome right now. i have had the chance to do some touring on the weekends, and i have met some great local uk mates who are also posted elsewhere in the world... hanging at some local english pubs on the weekdays, "... watching footie, eating pies and drinking ales..." (as the locals would say)

hanging in Dubai for the weekend

got to hang out with some friends in Dubai this past weekend... went to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel for their brunch, and then we wandered over to the Atlantis Hotel's Nasimi Beach. Originally we went just to hang out and smoke shisha, but we didn't realize they were having a white outfit theme party later on that night, so of course we had to stay for that!!! some videos below from our night, then over to Maria Bonita's Mexican Restaurant for a late dinner to finish an awesome day!
