As you do, Fridays are for brunching in Dubai. Jennifer had booked us into Ruth's Chris steakhouse and to be honest it wasn't somewhere I would have thought of for brunch although it's a firm fav for ladies night. In saying that it was really good due to the fact it was thanks giving and that we got turkey- my fav!!! It was ace! The brunch was so good and the company was great!! Ruth Chris offer a table service all you can eat brunch from 1230-1530 wi...

As it was...

Using Andrews air miles we were lucky enough to carry on our super exuberant premium class journey. Today we got to sample the Qatar airways first class lounge in Doha. The lounge is more of a massive space, a bit like an art gallery, quite minimalistic but with an abundance of class. We had time for a few glasses of champagne, a 2 course meal and then some finger cakes/dessert before heading to the boarding gate. Once on board the A321 we were offered some more ...
