Paris, the most romantic city in the world.

Mehdi and I just came back from Paris yesterday morning. It was my first time in the city of lights during the summer time and it was lovely. It was a bit of a cloudy day but perfect temp for walking (to galleries lafayette)!

Here's me... "Wait Remy, come back and make me a Ratatouille!"

Me again in a little garden at the Place de la Concorde end of the Champs-Elysee, Mehdi had the Camera that day.

Jacob In DXB

At the end of July, Jacob came over for a week on his way to France.

We had a great time together, eating out, smoking shisha and bargaining in the souk.

Here's a pic of us at ski dubai with our ski teacher.

August together

Mehdi and I have had our August roster together, with three 24hr Tunis flights, 24hrs Paris and some turnarounds. So far we have done one turnaround and all our Tunis flights.

Here I am at the new Head Quaters Breifing Centre, doing my nails before our first Tunis.

About ten hours later at the pool of our hotel in Tunis with Cyrinne and Sondes

Cyrinne and Sondes in the pool. Cyrinne came to stay with us at hotel each time. Our usual routine was to go straight to the pool for a swim as soon as we checked in and then to get ready and go to Mehdi's Family for dinner, wake up early the next morning to go shopping and for one last dip before our flight back to DXB.

Sfax

For the last Party of the wedding we went to Sfax for the night. Sfax is a large city built around a port, in fact it's one of the larger towns in the south of Tunisia. Its about three hours drive from Tunis.

On the way home from Sfax we went to El Jem, a small town built around the largest coloseum outside Italy.

July- Tunisia

In July, Mehdi and I took 10 days of leave to go to Tunisia. We spent most of the time in Tunis going to Parties but we snuck away for a few days here and there to the beach houses of Mehdi's Aunts and Uncles. Unfortunately most of the photos from the wedding parties (except the last night in Sphax) are on Sami's Camera so You'll have to wait for Sam to send them before I can post them.

This is me in Nabeul, a town near El Marmoura where Taoufik and Ibtissam's beach house is.

July

Here's a short clip of my Graduation to grade 1, Finally! I get to work in the business class cabin!

Straight after my upgrade we went to Tunisia for ten days to attend the wedding of Mehdi's cousin Imen to Azhar from Sphax.

June

Well... not much happened in June really, We went to Liege for a couple of days, to catch up with Mehdi's family. This is a photo of Mamy and I.

May

Sami and Doro stayed with us for a week on their way home to Belgium.
That week included my birthday, we went to the beach and out for dinner and as usual I got really spoiled! Here is Sam and Doro at the Burj Al Arab.

During May, Mehdi and I also took a road trip to Jebel Hafeet (the highest point in the UAE)
This is a road sign along the way, I have no idea what it's for. Jebel Hafeet is in Al Ain which is far less westernised than Dubai.

April cont.

After that we decided to head to Sydney in search of some decent food.

Mission accomplished!

Here we are looking hot...
