Dubai

Wow what a day. I wasn’t expecting to get up and head to Dubai today. I was actually thinking that I would end up here sitting all day watching tv. However that is not the case. At about 11:00 am, my neighbor decided that we needed to go to Dubai. Well we were off.
We started the day at the Dubai Mall largest mall in the world, but a great mall. I got to see the Aquarium, where there were divers and a shark, and I also got some Garrets popcorn.  I finally got to see Christmas decorations up at stores; it was kind of like being home but without the snow. We did a little shopping and tried to get to see the fountains, but they were not running the normal times due to it being a holy day. I was able to see the tallest building in the world. It was such a sight to see, I was amazed at the architecture and the sight of it. We then walked around the mall a while longer and head out.
This is where my fun of the day really started. Thanks to my neighbor we stopped at a pet store to look at a cat that she was hopping was there. Well we got in there and I was looking around and I ended up falling in love with an animal myself. So I bought all the things that I need and we headed home. It was an interesting car ride with her in a box, but we made it the two hours and she was safe. When I got home I was able to set up her cage and let her out of the box. She got away from me and took flight for a little while, however she is now safely in her cage and I can welcome Mac to my family over here.
I think that she is finally calming down and welcoming her new home. She is singing to me at this time and it is great to have.
