Early this month, in time for Ed's birthday, we went to Yas Island for a weekend break at Radisson Blu.

Cheap Thrill: Abra Ride at Dubai Creek

What can you do with a dirham? You buy a can of soda or a bottle of water to quench your thirst. If your stomach grumbles, you can have 3 pieces of pan de sal (filipino bread) at Pan De Manila.

Cool Summer Fun at Ice Land Water Park

As expected, the queue at the reception desk for reservations...
