The Atlantis, Dubai

The day finally arrived for our much-awaited desperately needed holiday!  At last - time to catch up on some sleep and chill!   Or so we thought..................

Lovely holiday, great place and Emirates airlines can be highly recommended!

Apart from an overnight flight on the way where Ruby hardly slept, she had a raging temperature and I had to hold her the whole way (and suffered aching bones for the next few days which a trip to the hotel spa and a treatment soon sorted :-)), kids club only for 4 years +, and Millie being sick for a day we had a great time!!!!

Loads of sun and sea and swimming, loads of fun in the waterpark (Shaun and Conor succumbed to the Leap of Faith!), far too much food and drink and even a few celebrity spots!

It was great for us to spend so much time as a family and we had fun!  Ruby was a real star and laughed and smiled and smiled and laughed.............she had conversations with almost everyone she saw (or they did plenty of cooing at her anyway)!!!

PS:  If any of you ever go, there is a fab bar at one end of the beach of the hotel..............tres trendy right on the beach with DJ the lot :-)
