I'm back and our pro pics

Lynseys Designs, 11 June, 2009 at 14:48 Posted on Planning 0 39

Hi,

So after 11 flights, 80 hours of travelling, 6 hotels and so many orangutans I'm very sad to say the honeymoon is over and it's back to reality now. It was the most amazing trip ever and we are already planning to go back asap. I'll post more when I'm not jet legged and feeling like I've not slept in weeks but in the meantime if you want to see our pro pics this is the link http://www.jimdaviesphotography.co.uk/Boyle/. I'll be deleting the link shortly so please don't quote me.

Hope everyone is well

Love Mrs Purrfectgems xx

    Hi,

    Thought you might be keen to see them and I'm delighted with the results so I know you will have fab pics as well. We were lucky in that we had a lot of time for pics but even that over run massively! Andy is lovely as well so you are getting 2 for the price for 1.

    I'm trying to keep awake because I think if I go to bed now I won't wake back up. Sorry we didn't travel for 80 hours in one go but in total. On the way to Borneo we left Heathrow at 5am on Tuesday (travelled from Glasgow to Heathrow on Monday night) and didn't get into Borneo until 5pm the next day so that was 33 hours in one go which didn't seem too bad actually but the travel back was hard. We didn't think we were too jet lagged on the way there but then slept for 14 hours! OOOps. At the moment it's 7pm Dubai time or 11pm Borneo time so our bodies are all over the place having so many time differences within 4 days. I'm trying to focus on our chinese takeaway tonight!

    Oh Lyns, you look so beautiful and serene! Just how a bride should look, lol. I havn't gone thru all the images yet, just skimmed to the ones with you in them, LOL. I have to run out, but I'll take a longer look later tonight. So glad you had a great day, can't wait to hear about the honeymoon, and to see you in September! Yay!

    Your photos are great, and so many too - we didn't have time for half of that. Going to make a brew then go through them all.

    Looking forward to hearing all about it so we can compare notes x

    Oh and High-five (can you tell I have been to america) on the long travels and lots of jet-lag and no sleep! I am still all over the place

    Hi,

    I feel a bit better after 12+ hours of sleep but still feel like I've been awake for ages! Trying to do housework is taking so long as I keep stopping for a rest!

    How was your flight? Ours was fine and it didn't feel as long as it really was on the way there but coming back just dragged in.

    Thanks girls. I keep looking at the pics and remembering the day which is lovely as there are some parts that are just a blur now.

    Will take us ages to choose our favourites for the album. x

    We loved it and can't wait to go back. I wasn't really looking forward to Dubai because a few people had said they didn't like it but for us it was great. We were only there for 3 days so didn't get a chance to do all the things we wanted but we did a desert safari and went to Atlantis Aqua Adventure where we got to go in the water with dolpins.

    The hotel upgraded us to a gorgeous room and the hotel itself was just lovely which I'm sure helped us to enjoy the time there even more. My own thing I didn't like was that it is like a building site which so much construction work going on everywhere (you'd never know when you are in the hotel grounds through) and it's so very expensive to eat out. A can of coke at the hotel was £4 and a burger and chips at the swimming pool as £17!!

    I'd recommend going there for sure. x

    Both things I have already heard so hopefully there won't be any unexpected surprises!!

    Good to hear you both loved it.

    Where are you staying? We were at the Royal Meriden at Jumeria Beach. I've never seen so many fancy cars and posh people!

    We're staying at the Hilton on Jumeriah beach. I'm waiting to hear back from Milna too as that's where she's staying!!

    I have had a few requests to bring some single friends a rich arab back!! ?

    We walked past the Hilton on our last night and we were going to stay there before deciding on the Meriden. Have you got the Entertainer Book? It's a huge book filled with vouchers for restaurants, trips etc and saved us a lot of money. It's £54ish to buy but saved us a more than that. You can either book the full book or indidivdual vouchers from ebay and people on trip advisor and that's what we are going to do and get some money back for it. People are desperate to buy a voucher for £5 instead of the full book. We would like to go back before the end of the year so fingers crossed.

    The beach is lovely and the water is absolutely roasting (warmed than bath water!). Just wish we were millionaires to have been able to afford everything.

    Did the Hilton look ok? I haven't really had a lot to do with the honeymoon so I'm not sure what it compares to. Never heard of that book but I'll mention it to OH.

    Can't be bad if you're wanting to go back that soon.

    Just saw the balconys from the road but I'm sure it's lovely. This will tell you more about the book https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g295424-i872-k1334383-Entertainment_Book-Dubai_Emirate_of_Dubai.html. If you are planning on doing any trips it's definitely worth the money as most things are buy one pass get one free.
