Mr eightblack,

Would it be worth organising an 'Afternoon Tea at the Burj' sub-do for the Dubai virgins?

Every time I've taken anybody there, they've always been impressed, even the most cynical of people.

It usually starts as afternoon tea, but ends up as evening cocktails as well.

It's like doing the Eiffal Tower in Paris, cheesy, but it's go to be done :D

I'd take the organisation of this on if you agree.

Cheers,
Rick

Hook up with me on the DL flight out of ATL on the 21st, returning on the
27th late evening. I of course will start from beloved MLB.

We can celebrate your birthday during that day.

What a cool idea. I am dying to see the Burj. I think they charge a hefty fee just to walk into the lobby, right?

Rick,

Bravo! Excellent. I hereby appoint you Chief Organiser of the Afternoon Tea at the Burj.

We're going to do brunch on the Friday - so make Saturday the afternoon tea day.

I'm looking at Sunday being the day where we do something airline/Emirates related.

Thanks for offering to help

Cheers

SIMON

Oh, would love to, Dede - but I will be in Chicago presenting at a conference on the 22nd. We can definitely have a cocktail to celebrate in Dubai, though!

Been spending alot of time in India lately, so if I'm in the neighborhood, would be excited join the festivities. Will have more clarity in mid-May.

Good luck with event!

Mark me as interested I should find out what my schedules will be like in the next couple of weeks.

I can't go to Dubai. Because this is middle eastern restrictions and I cannot allowed go any Arabs country. Only where I visits in Israel. That won't be necessary go to UAE for a long time. I can't joined with you guys in DXB. Instead, if you likes come to USA or EU is more convenient for me.

If you've got a US passport then there are no restrictions with Israel visit stamps in the UAE.

Put me down as a probable please. Any excuse to get out of KSA for the weekend :)

Not me. They don't serve TLV.

I was trying to price a iten from india to DXB and EK is charging twice as much as the next one and the flights are any way sardine cans.

Need to put some more effort in getting a sweet fare and some miles as well. It's a shame that EK is not a part of any alliance... They can start one ;)

Sorry for delay but have been busy with our brand new baby the last few days! Please let me know which part of Dubai that you would like to stay in and I will give you some ideas. If you don't know Dubai very well please drop me a PM and we will get something worked out location and hotel wise. An ideal budget per night would be good to.

you could fly with TK or RJ

Right. If you choosing to take RJ or TK. Whether if you decides to take on another foreign airlines from CAI, AMM, IST.

No, does not have served to TLV due to Middle Eastern restrictions.

Ah, okay! I see. I thought that I didn't have any problems from Israel stamps. Well, I am already been in Israel a years ago and I have renewal my passports and I have new passports that I got it by last 4 years ago. When I got my passports is expirations back in 2008. I decide that I have get renewal my passports and they sent it over me in the mails for approximately 4 weeks.
