We left on Thursday early evening, our flight was at 645pm, when we got to the airport, they said we were on the 840pm flight and when I looked at the gate board, it said the flight we were originally on was at 545pm? Long story short, they bumped us and several other people to the later flight and after much yelling and arguing we got on our original flight, barely, but still. Who bumps you off your flight without any sort of confirmation/email, etc? Stupid Gulf Air - luckily these were Chris's last mileage tickets so we don't plan on flying them anytime soon.
We took a cab to Mutaz's, changed and then went to the Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Island to sit and relax at this restaurant called Nasimi.
One of the guys, Adnan, who we went to school with in Saudi met us there for a little bit and then Chris and I met up with Mutaz and some other people at Buddha Bar. Somehow we didn't get home til almost 5am - why?
Then we had to head home to change for this surprise dinner, at 430 in the afternoon, really? When we got in the cab, he told me the surprise and pulled out 2 tickets to Cirque de Soleil's Alegria, which I had mentioned was showing in Dubai and I really wanted to see it since I had never been to a Cirque de Soleil show but not much had been said since then, so you can imagine my surprise when "dinner" turned out to be the show!! If you haven't seen a Cirque performance, I highly recommend it, it was amazing! I love my husband! After the performance, we went to Mutaz's and rested and then his friend Deep came to pick us up and take us to dinner at a place called Okku, which served mainly Japanese fusion food. It was like Deep's new favorite restaurant so we let him order everything: 3 hours later and stomachs sufficiently full from what I can honestly say was one of the best meals I have EVER eaten in my life, we headed off to this new club called Bang. I cannot tell you who we met there or who was celebrating what, because I swear everytime we go to Dubai, it's someone's birthday, wedding or just a random celebration of some sort, but it was so much fun!
Woke up late on Saturday, went to lunch at Fuddruckers, came back and I took a nap, then got ready and packed up, then headed to meet up with Deep at this place called Reem for tea and shisha. Mutaz took us to the airport, we weren't bumped off our flight, we arrived back in Bahrain and went straight to bed.
