Speaking of pyramids, there is a shopping mall in Dubai known as Wafi City and it is built around an egyptian theme. Dubai Raffles Hotel is under construction there at the moment, and the mall itself has some expensive shops: Graff, Lalique, Frette, Chopard, Chanel and so forth. Naturally it seemed like a good place to look for a hairdresser when I first arrived. I found a great little salon, Hair@Pyramids, and a wonderful spa called Cleopatra's right next door. "Maintenance Day" is when I hit both within a 24 hour period in preparation for a big event.
I've been maintained. Literally from head to toe and now sport blonde and copper highlights and french polish at respective ends of my body. It's a girl thing. Besides, Mum would probably take me out the back and hit me over the head with a shovel if I didn't scrub up before I got onboard "the world's most magnificent ocean liner".

I'm looking down on Port Rashid as I type this. The sun is setting and I notice there's an all-white imposter in QM2's parking spot - Costa Classica - using up about 25% of Quay 2. I looked her up and she carries about 1300 passengers. I'm trying to guess roughly how much of the quay QM2 will need for space if she can carry a maximum of 3500 passengers. Scary thought.
Two more sleeps to go ...
