London










After almost 3 years in Emirates and many times to London, I'm embarrassed to say... I've never been to Central London till yesterday. I must say that i could not have gone on a more perfect day. The sun was shining brightly yet still a little chilly... Went to see the famous Buckingham Palace and it's guards, unfortunately no glimps of the Queen or the handsome young Princes, the Big Ben, had ice cream at London Eye, walked the street of Picadilly Square. It was the perfect day to chill out and enjoying the company of a friend... Enjoy the pictures...

Toronto, Canada... My Best Layover!



Toronto, Canada.

One of the best part of my career, actually the best part of my career is that it takes me to the most amazing places in the world and it allows me to experience what God made for us. The most definately best layover so far, Canada.

3 days here allowed me to plan my time and take things at a stride. I got to see the Niagara Falls, which is one of the most beautiful and amazing places in the world, not to mention one of the 7 Wonders of the World on the first day. The crew and i took a boat called The Maid of the Mist which brought us so close to the falls that the thundering roars of the water was absolutely Cool Man!!!... The view is so beautiful and the weather was perfect. After that, we went the the canadian winery where we had the sweet taste of ICE WINE, which i bought for Kai and myself to enjoy in a few days time. It's actually a sweet wine where the grapes are frozen during winter (-8 degrees) and each grape produces a drop of sweet wine. Sweet!!

The next day, after Sunday Mass, the 5 girls went to watch my ALL TIME FAV. MOVIE OF ALL TIME in theater, DIRTY DANCING. It brought tears to my eyes to be able to enjoy such wonders here and to be blessed with such experiences in the world. The show was so good that i wanna go see it again.

We've got another day tomorrow and i'm waiting to go up the Tallest Tower in Toronto, called, The Tower, and i would have done most of what i needed to before i head back to Dubai .


Thank you God for the many blessings in the World.

The Malta Experience







The Malta Experience... It was a warm summer mini 24hour vacation i enjoy with my crew... We visited Valletta, one of the preserved 16th Century historical sites.

Rottnest Island...




















Rottnesst Island... The much needed weekend getaway for Kai and meself... A lovely boat ride down the river of Perth with great views of King's Park and Frementle to mark the start of a lovely secenic weekend...
After our arrival into Rottnest Island, we rented a couple of bikes to get a tour of the main area, Thomson's Bay, dropped in for a cuppa coffee/tea and went for a little tour around... we had a nice view of the church and the bays nearby before heading off to get the key to our Villa located at Long Reach Bay. it was about a 2.2Km ride to our area but it was well worth it... even though it was pouring and cold... Kai and i went on a little adventure.. cutting through the grassy areas forgoing the bike routes and found some really splendid sights... made our way through the lighthouse where we watched the sunset and We went for a nice ride round town again to get some supplies for the night and we popped into a friends' place and had a couple of drinks... Made our way back to our place for a cozy time near the fireplace...
next morning.. after returning the key... we headed out to a little adventure... a Scenic flight over Perth and Rottnest which Kai had planned for me... and boy was i amazed ... He knew my love for aircrafts.. We passed through Perth city and over our home... but the most magnificent was flying low level over Rottnest Island... the clear view of all the Bays and the little villas, beaches and all... simply amazing... and it was one of my best scenic flights (Considering i'm a flight attendant). After the fabulous tour... Kai and i hopped on the tour bus and made our way to one of the bays for a very cold swim... smilez... it was fantastic...
This i must say has been one of the best spontaneous trips i've been on... and to make it even better than it already is... I shared it with someone i truly love... Kai McGuinness...
~Thank you lord for letting us enjoy your creations~
