Thank you very much for reading and for sending your comments, Lisa! (And a shout-out to the Lavallee family!) What is your son doing for work in Dubai? My husband and are currently on the Musandam Peninsula of Oman, but are heading back to Dubai today for our last ten days on the Arabian Peninsula. I’m looking forward to it – somehow, Dubai became a home away from home! I hope your son enjoys his time there and that you are able to return again (especially during the Canadian winter!). Thanks again for stopping by to say hello! 🙂

A mutual friend, Noreen Lavallee, gave me your blog site. We just got back from Dubai and our son lives there now so she thought I’d find your blog interesting. Very! I had the same feeling at the Grand Mosque and also got chills when the call to prayer came over the speakers. You have done an excellent job of capturing the Dubai I feel like I experienced. Enjoy your travels and I look forward to reading more.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the story, dad! I didn’t expect to find a whole lot of tradition, history, or culture, so have been pleasantly surprised so far!

A truly wonderful read; you capture the contradiction of old and new in juxtaposition. I was disappointed the article ended…
