So this week end we have left for a little break in Dubai... And right now 8 am still at the airport. You see, there are a couple of things you got to Love about Dubai Airport, specially when you are a mum and you have a tired toddler!
The first thing is called a stroller. Yes yes, courtesy of Emirates you have a stroller at your disposition as you exit the plane. No waiting for your own, or carrying your tired baby. You get a beautiful red Maclaren till you reach the arrival hall and pick up yours. Well Bibs today decided not to sleep during the flight (very long flight for mummy here) but as soon as she sat in the stroller she fell asleep.
The second thing is a Costa Coffee cafe in the arrival hall: mummy is relaxing with a nice latte and Bibs is napping peacefully in the stroller. Bliss.
Third thing: free internet for the blogging mummy.
Enjoy your week-end, wherever you are - am going to enjoy time with my little family, fab food , meet ups with friends and very importantly the +25 degrees and sunshine waiting for me as soon as I get to leave the airport.

I want some of that! I'll even sit in an airport to get it.
Hi Babs! I am SO impressed, a McClaren stroller?
Glad you enjoyed your time away, and got a moment to delight in a latte an blog post. :)
The vast array of duty-free shops are pretty awesome too!
J'ai été ravie de vous rencontrer tous les trois mardi soir ! Vivement que je vous présente mes princesses et que nous découvrions Amman !
Bises,
Marie-Aude.
We loved Dubai, it's such a treat! And Emrites airline is fantastic!
You have such an interesting blog!
I’d love you to add a post to my expat Linky Party on March 19th. Hope to see you there, if not sooner
amazing coincidence here as we had an awful accident with one of the strollers the day before with a portion of our daughters finger amputated. Having been away from the UK for 3 years now you just seem to miss news.....google 'dangerous Maclaren pushchairs' and you'll be surprised by what you see.
Hi! Found your blog and feel "homesick" for Jordan, though I am not from Jordan. Sitting here in a still very cold Stockholm. Talked to my sister today in Amman, 23 C!!! I better move to Amman, the weather is better!!!
Thanks for the blog!! /S Susan
Hi Babs - we are a Canadian family of 4 traveling the world with the idea of landing Jordan for a month starting mid-October. We'd like to find a home-stay or similar kind of place so that we can mix with other families with kids of similar ages (11 and 12) to get to know more about the daily life and culture there. I'd love to ask you more questions. Please email linda at:
