Travel Thursday: My Dubai Experience Part 1 (My Missed Skydive + Flyboarding experience + Meydan Hotel Review)
By Unknown - November 11, 2016
My
first stop was in Dubai
I
spent about 4 days in this city and each day was packed full with activities
hence am going to have this Dubai post in three parts, just so I can day dream
some more while writing the post, lool. Anyways. we stayed in Meydan hotel which was abit away from the
centre of Dubai but it was absolutely worth it, the service here was
awesometastic, i usually don't say much about the hotels I stay in, when I go
on holiday but this one needed to have a special place in this post
because it felt like a "small palace on a race course" (even the
5 star hotel i stayed in Las Vegas wasn't half as good as this, hmmm hmmm) and
they also helped us plan our activities/times and days in Dubai as well as
booked the tours for us, which was the best thing if not, we would have booked
in too much and not had enough time because we wanted to do everything in
a few days. lool. you can check out the hotel details here.
I thought its only fair that you see other parts of the hotel with me in it. ahahahaha. #self obsessed traveller.
The swimming pool is on top of the building and the best swimming pool I have seen yet.
Day
2
On
Monday was my skydive day which i was super excited and nervous about, I
couldn't even have a proper sleep the previous night because I was so looking
forward to this and seriously panicking. I got to the skydive venue very early
and I had to pay the balance of the deposit I had already paid before coming.
They did the usual health check and everything and guess what, i couldn't fly!
*fainted*. my BMI was slightly higher than what its meant to have been,
actually, lemme make this in simple terms, "they said i was too fat"
lool. no thats not it, my weight had increased from when I booked to when i
flew (the stress of moving house, driving more than 1000 miles in one week, no
jokes, and I eat silly when I drive, so yes, i agree i would have put on ridiculous
amount of weight but didn't think it was that bad) I only increased by 1kg pass
the said BMI but they have strict rules so sadly, I lost my deposit. I
tearfully carried my upset self to go and flyboard, which wasn't even on my to
do list for Dubai (plan A didnt work, I quickly switched to the next pland and
both centres are side by side themselves, so it just worked out well for me).
So people, if you book skydiving make sure your weight doesn't increase at all
or that all their requirements are met if not, your money will not be refunded.
Flyboarding
was all sorts of adrenaline rush. OMG it took them 10 mins to get me from land
into the water I was literally panicking, I was going to say I cant do it and
then I remembered I was going to loose my money again and faced my fears!
lool. Am just a drama queen sometimes!. this was such a fantastic experience
and I am defo going to do this again.
i
also did a donut ride. it was fab.!
that moment when you know you can actually fly! yasssss.!
A proud flyboarder! finally ticked off my bucket list! yayyhhh!

How fun!!! So sorry you couldn't go sky diving but you had great fun with the fly board though. I couldn't do that even if you paid me. One I'm scared of heights , two I'm petrified of water. Kudos you!! Very fun vacay. That's a lot of driving in a week btw.
