Day 13: The Beach Life

A relaxing last day as we got ready for our 16-hour flight back to the US.  

After a late morning start, we headed to the popular Zero Gravity Beach Club for brunch, swimming and relaxation.  

A great place to just hang ... lots of people from all over the world, great food, great pool, great chairs around the pool and at the beach ... and an amazing view of the Ain Dubai (the 250m tall wheel like in London) and of the Dubai skyline around Jumeirah.  

Seems like Jumeirah is the area of Dubai where wealthy people from all over the world have a place ... or two ... it is full of beautiful apartment buildings, villas, and hotels ... this is also where the Dubai Marina is ... great yachts!

We then headed to Trails and Dust, our motorcycle rental outfitter, to finally meet Jorge, the owner (from Colombia) and Karen (from Lebanon) in person.  A great shop with 50+ motorcycles on display for sale and for rent.  Great inventory.

We returned our motorcycles, hung out at the shop for a while, had a cappuccino, and then headed back to the hotel to pack and to go to the airport.

This is it.  An amazing overall trip!  Everybody is healthy and in one piece! Great memories!
