[ happy new year! ]
IT'S HARD TO believe that 2010 is at its end! Despite a few ups and downs, it's been a pretty good year overall with many things to be thankful for. I don't typically make New Year's resolutions but I will make an effort to enjoy the little things, always be kind and appreciate the people around me. If I can do that, 2011 will be a very good year.
So whether you are painting the town red or watching the ball drop on TV, kick up your heels and ring in the New Year with a bang! Have a great weekend and I'll see you next year (aka Monday!)

[ dubai film festival ]
DUBAI HAS been abuzz with the Dubai International Film Festival this week and the preview screening of Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Tom Cruise has been the highlight of the Festival by far, signing autographs and attending the screening of the latest MI film that finds Tom doing his own stunts swinging from the Burj Khalifa.

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie when it opens in theatres here. One of the Canadian expats I've met here auditioned for a part as a extra last year and they filmed a few scenes. We're anxious to see if they kept her in - how exciting if they did!

[ Paris Christmas market ]
ONE OF THE magical things about visiting Paris at this time of year is the Christmas Market that stretches all along the Champs Elysées...
Both sides of the street are lined with white wooden stalls filled with gifts, mulled wine, food and sweets galore...
After passing numerous crepe stands, I finally broke down and had to get one...
And then on to more stalls...
As the day got darker, we decided to make our way back to our hotel. Paris is so pretty at night...
One more of these and I was ready to bid farewell to lovely Paris...
I think no matter what time of year you visit Paris, you'll never be disappointed. Thanks for following along!

[ a catamaran around dubai ]
HAPPY MONDAY! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and hopefully those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving are out of your turkey coma by now!
We had an awesome Saturday afternoon on a big catamaran around Dubai. The weather was incredible and it was so nice to see Dubai from the water and get a different perspective.
I thought you might like to soak it in...
...we happened to be out when the Traditional Dubai Dhow Sailing Race was taking place...
...we anchored for some swimming...
...then continued our journey back...
... we watched the wooden dhow boats being towed back after the race {they only go one way}...
...and saw a helicopter land on the Burj Al Arab...
...what a relaxing way to spend an afternoon ~ gorgeous sights, fresh sea air and a pretty sunset... ahhhh....
