Well today brings an end to my eight week internship with Jumeirah. It is sad because I have met so many great people and feel part of the 'Jumeirah Family.' I thought I would write one last blog from Dubai before my return home on Sunday. So here is what I have been up to...
Work has been slightly quieter this week and I have being doing some odd jobs for Rupert. He is working really hard trying to organise the Festival of Taste 2008 and it is a pity I am not going to be around for this event. Its sounds pretty cool! Last night I was invited to an Iftar Dinner by the PR team at Jumeirah Beach Hotel. I enjoyed having a look round the hotel and dinner was fantastic. I sat next to a very interesting couple from England who have just arrived in Dubai. I used the opportunity to continue to spread the word about the Saltire Foundation and also chatted at length with Ruperts new assistant, Ria. Today will involve saying many goodbyes and tying up any loose ends with work. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Jumeirah and it truly has been a once in a lifetime experience.
It is unbelievable to think this is my last weekend in Dubai and I fully intend to make the most of it. Sadly Kitty leaves for Sri Lanka this evening but I am hoping to go out for dinner and have one last 'Jumeirah Experience.' Tomorrow I will begin to pack (Throw clothes in my case!) and then hopefully go to Ski Dubai and Go-Karting. We have arranged a small leaving do at The Agency Wine Bar in Madinat Souk. Will be nice to say a final thank you to many of the people who have made this such a special eight weeks. Finally, on Saturday I think we may head to Wild Wadi! It will be once last chance for me to catch some rays before I head back to rainy Scotland....!
I will post on my return to Scotland and will save the 'Thank You' for then!
In the mean time...one final goodbye from Dubai!!!
Peter
