THE MALL OF ALL MALLS

After working in the Middle East for three years I finally made it to the Mall of the Emirates!  I wandered around for hours!  It was seriously overwhelming!  I did one of those stupid girlie things where I decide that I have to buy something to wear home on the plane.  Then of course nothing looks appealing to me and I end up buying something just so I don't go home empty handed.  Why do girls do that?!

This was the indoor ski slope.  The place was packed!  I was actually a little surprised to see that the mall was so decked out for christmas.  It was a nice dose of holiday cheer before heading home!

M.L.I.S.W. I hate good-byes unless they mean I get to go home!

Upon departure from the vessel: Third Mate:  Okay, so we'll have to be in touch.

Me:  Without a doubt.

Third Mate:  You'll have to fill me in on everything you  hear since you're such a dirty pirate hooker.

*note: he's been calling me a dirty pirate hooker for a few days now...

Me:  Wait, why am I a dirty pirate hooker?

Third Mate:  I dunno....cause you're dirty and a hooker?

Me:  Oh yeah, I forgot.....
