Sheridan's Visit to the Sand Box!

Sheridan Explores the United Arab Emirates

To really appreciate Sheridan's first trip to the Middle East, 
you need to see it through her eyes and her words. 

          Oh my! This trip has been so incredibly amazing and life changing because of this lady. I've soaked up the hot wonderful sun rays of Asia, been pampered at the spa, walked and traveled unfamiliar streets, explored new delicious foods and drinks, roamed many beautiful beaches, seen multiple amazing sunsets, shopped till I dropped in local authentic markets, seen incredibly gorgeous mosques and buildings, went to my first palace, had my first lunch at a palace, learned how to weave a handmade rug, seen amazing art and architecture designs, heard many new languages, learned new words and phrases, swam in perfectly blue pools, kayaked the peaceful mangroves, brunched at fun restaurants, met wonderful new people, saw all kinds of fishes at the aquarium, walked the biggest malls of my life, saw the worlds tallest building, experienced a fabulous light music and water show, allowed myself to fully soak in the Emirati culture, went on my first safari, got my first real henna tattoo, rode a camel for the first time, dirt biked for the first time in the desert, experienced my first dune bashing ride sitting shotgun, wore fun interesting clothing and jewelry, held a falcon for the first time but most importantly after all is said and done I made the most incredible memories with you. 

                                    The WELCOME COMMITTEE and running into friends!
