    Three days ago, our family left our part-time home in Manila for our first visit to Dubai. We explored the legendary emirate by sea, air, and land. But now we’ve driven 75 minutes south to Abu Dhabi to experience some of the most magical parts of UAE culture. From sites and bites to a journey through the world’s largest sand desert and a night at one of the most awesome hotels on the planet.

    We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

    Colt might have had fun rolling down the sand dune but now he has sand all through his clothes, How is mom going to wash that out?
    At least it was not wet. Our son at age 7 or 8 decided to roll in the surf in Oregon. That fine wet sand was a nightmare to wash out. Didn't
    dare put the clothes in the washing machine before hand washing a few times. The sand dunes in Oregon give us a tiny idea of what you are seeing.

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Місяць тому

      I think that the fact that it was dry sand, made it so easy to shake everything off. I was actually really surprised that we didn’t have sand in our suitcase when we arrived back in Manila.
