Back from the trip!

Having settled back into routine life, here in Houston, it feels so good to sit back, look at the photos and remember those days... 30 days - 4 cities - almost 2000 pictures! Here's a brief glimpse into the places we visited. More photos of each place will follow later. Ofcourse, do visit Scary-on for our travelogues. The first write-up comparing the desert safari in Dubai to the luau in Hawaii is up here.
