The real highlight of our trip is when we went "dune-bashing" in a Land Cruiser. We drove about 45 minutes north to a huge sand field that was just like you think a desert would be like.	The cars went up and down (and sideways) at crazy angles; you can see the tire tracks in the dune behind Grant.
To the north, as far as you could see, was nothing but sand. Sooz looked hard for Omar Sharif, to no avail.	Of course, when you're in the desert, you have to ride on a camel! The most exciting part of the ride is when they stand up and sit down.
After riding, we went to camp for dinner. Grant got to hold a falcon. I asked what the bird's name was and was told that he didn't have a name--silly me!	After a fine meal, one naturally needs a few draws from the water pipe. Somehow, though, this made Don feel a little nervous.
Sooz went to the Dubai Equestrian Center and got to ride her own Arabian Stallion (actually her name was Jessica) through the desert.	On our last day, we played a little tennis. Grant displayed good form, bonking me on the head just after snapping this picture.
This is what Anna Kournikova can hope to look like in 25 years!	We ended our trip checking in at 11PM for a 2AM flight back to London. Thankfully we weren't going to Karachi with all those other people in our line!
