Dubai...

Hello.  We made it to Dubai early yesterday and it is fabulous.  The modern construction and skyscrapers are breathtaking.  We're staying at the Madinat Jumerirah Mina A'Salam and it is quite simply amazing.  Mike says it's the "coolest" place he's ever been and wants to come back for our honeymoon.  Our room overlooks the ocean, the winding man made river that runs throughout the entire property, and the famous hotel that looks like a giant sail.  There are over 500 suites and villas, 42 restaurants, and plenty of shops, bars, pools, etc.  We've been told that George Clooney and Sharon Stone are here amongst other Hollywood stars for the Dubai Film Festival, but we haven't seen any of them.  It's safe to say that if it wasn't for my golf, we may not leave the property.  Speaking of which, I have to run for the pro-am.  I'll try to include some photos later in the week.  Goodbye for now.

Hi Annika,

I'm your big fan from Thailand. Unfortulately, I was too busy to stop by at the Honda LPGA. I wish you have a great time and a great performance in Dubai. Enjoy the Sea, Sand, and Sun overthere.

Best Wishes from Thailand.

Brilliant - please do update us on what golfing in Dubai is like! If I were to invest in a Dubai property, it would certainly be near a golf resort. I hope you have a great stay :)

Hey Annika,

I was just curious, what's your favorite place to play in the world? Good luck in Dubai!!

Annika,
From what I've seen on TV about Dubai it's basically" heaven on earth". A very, very unique place. And it sounds like the perfect place to honeymoon!! Mikes's right!!

Anway, sounds like just the perfect place to defend your title right?

Hi Annika

I am your fan from Melbourne, Australia. Seeing George Clooney or Sharon Stone equates to meeting you face to face one day. Plan to go to Singapore to watch you play the HSBC championship. All the best in Dubai.

Oraya, thanks for the support. Maybe I'll see you next time in Thailand!

Shauna, I'm blessed in that I get to play in beautiful places all around the world. It's hard to single out one spot, but it's always fun playing back in Sweden since that's where I'm from. Also, the Majors are always nice.

Susie, I'll see you in Singapore. I look forward to going back their next year. I'm happy HSBC has gone there.

Golf54deciple, I would recommend a Dubai trip to anyone. Yes, a title defense would be nice!
