Thank Goodness it's almost Friday (again)

FYI: We've uploaded a ton of photos again so be prepared for a number of photo-filled posts in the next week.

Here's a little story:

Elysia gets invited to a party. She invited a few friends (and her husband) and they set out on a strange and mysterious journey to catch a boat that will take them to the middle of the Persian Gulf to some island. Why? Well, apparently there's a party on said island with booze and food. So each one of them shell out 250 AED (which is about $60) and meet at the dock at 10 a.m. Surrounded by a lot of 20/30 somethings and some thumping electronic music they set out on a 45 minute journey on a large yacht. Suddenly, in the middle of open waters the boat slows down and approaches an "island" that is more like a sandbar, a sandbar with no shade. Next to the island resides a heavily armed police boat. Elysia's accomplices eye her as to say, "What the hell did you get us into?"
Thankfully the yacht soon speeds up again. Eventually another island appears... and the boat slow. As it comes into better view they spot GRASS?!?!!!! Yup. An island covered in green grass, gazelle, A HUGE mansion, the biggest and most luxurious swimming pool, a London DJ spinning bumping tunes, a private beach, waiters, lots of catering and 7 stands serving an open bars (including one large one in the pool).
"Oh yea, this is my cousin's island," a girl de-boarding the boat proudly boasts. With puzzled looks she continues. "Sheik Huzzah, this is his island." (Later in the day, after many drinks in the sun Elysia dubs him Sheik Huzzah, the patron sheik of partying.) With all you can eat and drink until sundown.. well, the rest is history. This Friday, history repeats. Lucky us : )

So, to keep with our current events here's a preview of what we're in for (again) this Friday.
