Subscribing, not sure of availability yet, but might you change the dates?

This is the big eid holiday...

Just an update...

An FT member has been able to negotiate some good rates at Hyatt, Starwood and Ritz Carlton properties, and these will be available for attendees.

Leave a message here if you're interested.

I've now booked into the Sofitel Jumeirah. I had a load of Accor points to use up, so saved a lot.

To be honest, this event is not overly subscribed at the moment, with only me and my other half 'confirmed'.

So, rather than have a formal event, it's probably better that we just arrange to meet up somewhere nearer the time.

We're intending doing the Westin Friday Brunch as a change from he Park Hyatt. So, if anybody is interested in this, please go ahead and book.

Great! I though you had other plans, so I didn't contact you first.

P.S. Do you know which day is dry? Hopefully not the Friday

I'm going to be flying through DXB on my way home from the INN DO, but unfortunately a few days too late. I land in Dubai early morning on 9/30, and leave at 0245 on 10/1 (so a 20 hour or so layover). Would love to see if anyone is around and able to meet up then!
