DUBAI: Me waiting alongside the fishes in Singapore airport.

DUBAI: The wave-shaped hotel we stayed in.

DUBAI: Celebrating my birthday in style with champers!

DUBAI: This is the life! Matching dressing gowns and slippers and a glass of champagne - a vision of us in our retirement!

DUBAI: Our room was fantastic but the villa Paul's mum and dad had the luxury of staying in was something else, here is the view from their balcony.

DUBAI: And here is Paul's mum surveying the land!

DUBAI: Here we are again with more champagne!

DUBAI: Me and Paul's mum with a nice saddle in the background.

DUBAI: Paul and his dad - you can tell I took this one because its off centre.

DUBAI: Many a night was spent in this English style pub....(of course there's vodka in with the 7up!)

DUBAI: This is one for the family album....

DUBAI: This ones not bad either.

DUBAI: It's Mr Permatan himself.

DUBAI: Me stood in front one one of the only two 7-star hotels in the world.

DUBAI: Paul, feet up, bottle of beer and an English newspaper - heaven!

DUBAI: The girls are ready for a night on the town.....

DUBAI: but the boys can't decide what size steak to have - the 15oz or the 30oz?

DUBAI: Will he manage all that steak?

DUBAI: From a steak restaurant to a fish restaurant and no rice or noodles in sight!

DUBAI: And there was never a shortage of alcohol!
