Re: Want to foil? Dubai!

It just so happens that my nephew, Eddy Wade, wife and two kids, just moved to Dubia last month. I have been receiving all the stuff of Dubia via faceplant since he got there.

I will forward this to him but my bet he won't rent.

Re: Want to foil? Dubai!

Yeah, it's pricey but it's Dubai. But it's a ton cheaper than snow skiing.

5 day lift ticket advance purchase: $625 And that's just the lift ticket. I haven't rented equipment in ages but I'd assume that's another $200-250?

It's nice that you forwarded it to them. If nothing else, it plants the seed.
