 the place where we took our COVID test sent the wrong test for her. So I have my PCR test, but she only has the rapid test sent, even though she did a PCR. So it's a little bit of a conundrum. We have to wait until 8 a.m. It's about 7.30 now. So we'll wait until 8 to call them and see if we can figure out what this thing is and if they can send us the email and then go from there. Success! You guys, we got the PCR test results back. So we're going to walk down. Hopefully it doesn't take that long to get there. We're still like two hours ahead of time. So hopefully it's okay. Let's see. All right. Goodbye, here we come. Yeah, so we made it through. My mom requested a wheelchair. So we like zoomed through that line. Okay. So that is the perks of traveling with a senior citizen. Okay. You get to zoom through the line. We're going to be waiting for a couple hours for our flight to actually start boarding at Boards. What time is it right now? So Boards in about another hour and yo, like we were we were stressed. Okay, sweating bullets. Like, I'm like, oh my gosh, are we going to make this flight? But the lines were pretty good. Okay, let me take this off just just so you guys can see my face a little bit. The lines were pretty good. Nose, like the security check-in was fine. It was pretty easy and it made it easier the fact that she was in a wheelchair because like they just, you know, let her go through. So that was cool. So when I get on the plane, maybe I'll show you guys some of like the images outside the plane. I don't know. But definitely show you guys that hotel room and we don't get this thing going. Okay, let's do this. That side of the room, that side of the room looks like you. And that building over there is the one that you always see. So let's take a look at the bathroom. So first we have the shower here right when you walk in on the left. I always like to take a look at the shower, shampoo and conditioner and the body wash that hotels give you. I don't know why. I mean, you know, you typically take them with you and I really like the fact that this place gave you two sets and they replaced it every day. Also, there was this kind of vanity area that they had these bottles of water at and they replaced those bottles of water every time you drunk it. So it wasn't like, oh, I need to pay for this. Nothing like that. This was the huge soaker tub that we had. I never took a, you know, a bath in it, but it was nice to look at. And over here, we had like the toilet and the bidet. Y'all, look at what I just found. My babe dropped in here. A little note. So sweet. Love you aunt. So it's private, so I'm not going to let y'all see what's in it, but I'll read it. I'm sure it's nice. Thanks babe. Love you. I'm going to continue to get settled in. You guys saw the room. It looks really nice. I love the view. It's amazing. So I can't wait to see it at night and I can't wait to experience Dubai with you guys for the first time. All right, let's do this. So I just came from taking a shower and I am not saying this just because I'm in Dubai, but I promise you that was like the best shower that I've ever taken in my life. Like the water pressure was right on point, but I had to jump in the shower because literally it was a 12 hour flight from New York to Dubai and it was a straight flight, but it was 12 hours. And so 12 hours on a plane. It's like doing a 12 hour shift for work, right? You when you get home, you want to take a shower. So I took shower in my little room to have a good time. I'm like super like I'm really, really excited about this view. You guys, I keep looking at it. I can't stop looking at it. Let me just kind of show you guys this view. Bam! Look at that y'all. This is my view. Like of course here we have like all the skyscraper hotels, but this right here of the canal and just that little arch bridge and all of that. It's beautiful. I'm excited to enjoy myself. I showed you guys that note that aunt sent me and actually like it is something that I can share with y'all. Like he was just really being like super uplifting. Let me actually go get it. I'm going to pause really quickly. Go get it because the lighting is bomb. So I'm going to pause go get that and come back. But yeah, so my babe sent me a note and he was like being really, really super uplifting. And so let me just kind of show you the note because it's like, I mean, maybe somebody needs this message today. So it said, hey, babe, just wanted to say I miss you already, which I was like, I miss you too, babe. He said, have fun, vlog a little, which I'm doing. Be street smart and is all about street smart and honoring God. Seek a golly experience and God will allow you to find it. Love you and Matthew seven seven to eight. And that is my man for you always with the word always being uplifting and he even dropped me a few extra dollars in this note. So that was dope too. So I'm going to like see what I can do. Maybe I can bring back a couple souvenirs for him and the kids because they didn't make it on this trip with me. And then, you know, like do a little shopper for myself as well. And, you know, of course, bring you guys on that experience. And then we're definitely going to the expo 2020, which is kind of like a tour of the world basically. So it has like all like, I think it's 191 countries in the world. And you can experience it all here and, you know, like the Middle East here in Dubai. So it's really cool. I'm excited about that. I, you know, I have to hit trend that up. You know, that's that's my home. So I'm going to hit trend that up and I heard that Saudi Arabia was really dope. So I'm going to do that one as well. All right. Can't wait to have you guys come on. Yeah, I think I might just sit back and relax and I will talk to you guys later. Okay, I'll see y'all. So many people here. Look at this place. It's huge. Look at this. So this is actually our first night in Dubai. We decided to hit them all up just kind of see what was going on in the nighttime and it was bananas. You guys, there was so many people. So here is called the soup and it's actually a version of the gold soup that I would be visiting a little bit later in this vlog. So you guys just keep watching. But you can buy jewelry, gold, silver can buy incense and perfumes and then we have here at the massive 155 million year old dinosaur skeleton that was placed in the Dubai barrel. So it's like you're coming in to shop but at the same time kind of be a part of history. It was really amazing. Guys, when I say there was so many people, I'm telling you there was so many people. There was thousands of people at this mall and it never died down. We went early in the morning. We went late at night close to midnight when the mall closed and it always looked just like this. So this is this is a section called level shoes and it's just all shoes different designer shoes. There's different shoes in general. All shoes. Life is short by shoe. I just love this. Manila Blonic. Wow. This is amazing. So when my mom and I were just walking we stumbled upon the Dubai Aquarium and underwater Zoo which is actually located in the mall and it's crazy because it has 10 million liters of water. All right y'all so day 2 of the trip to Dubai and I am about to go on like a tour of the city. So I think our tour is supposed to last like a few hours so that should take up the majority of the day and at some point I'm going to Expo 2020. I think it's going to be tomorrow. I think that's when I want to go but depending on what time sorry I just put my contacts in look up this morning but depending on what time the tour of the day ends then I will ensure that hope if I have enough time then I'll go to Expo 2020. Okay so that's my plan. My eyes are wide like crazy because they just put my contacts in I just woke up. I'm going to go like brush my teeth wash my face do all that good stuff. I mean even wash my face and brush my teeth for y'all yet so I'm going to go do that and then we don't go outside and explore Dubai a little bit more. You got a little bit of like the mall nightlife and then you know let's see what else Dubai has to hold. We have to go on this tour y'all. I want to show you guys what's happening. This is the gold suit over here. I just came from the spice market. One more small one. One hundred thirty. This one selling two hundred and one hundred and fifty. This one we got shining one. What this one? Alright I'm not even looking. So we're in the famous gold suit this is where you can get all the gold that you want hopefully for a good price. My mom is here on the hunt. We're about to do this thing okay. Guys now when I tell you there was so much gold in this marketplace there was so much gold and it ranged anywhere from eighteen to twenty four carats and the gold was beautiful. This is my name. So I got a little bit of gold and I'm not staying here. Of course you're going to come and pull you guys. So no worries. I'll definitely. Alright so we are here. We're about to eat. I got like a plate full of food. Let me show you. Looks good and I got two salads. I'm just like being greedy and some like fruit. I don't know if I'm going to eat it all but I'm sure going to try it. We'll see how that goes and look at what my mom's got and what she got going on there. She's got a little bit of fish and soup and stuff. Alright mom I see you. Alright and this lighting is on so I think I might also take a picture here. For this dessert we have this mango and this passion fruit cake. I don't know if you guys can see this. Mango and passion fruit. I'm going to try some of it and see how it goes. A little bit of a layer. Do it. Like that. You guys please take your time. It's not bad. I know what this is. I'm not really feeling that. It's not bad. Alright let's try the passion fruit. Passion fruit. Layer again. It's not bad. I can do without it. I'm going to stick with the fruit. Mine was sour. Mine was sour. Oh the piece I cook was good. So you took the good piece. My mom took my good piece of pineapple because this one is sour. On the right side that is the Jamina Beach 5-star hotel. It takes 4-5 hours to completely explore this park. So at this point we spent all day touring the city and seeing all the sights. So we were on our way back to the hotel which I was kind of excited for because I was so tired and exhausted. And just wanted to get back and put my feet up. Here we were actually able to get a glimpse of the Aine Dubai or the Dubai Eye which is inspired by the London Eye in London right before we got back to the hotel. You guys can see the nice view of the hotel. It's dark so I can't really see it here. Let's do it this way. You guys can see my view from the hotel. I came back from the tour. It was really really nice. I had a really good time. Got to see a lot of Dubai. I feel like I'm almost an expert all of the knowledge that our tour guide gave us. And so hopefully you guys got some information from this video as I was explaining some things that we were seeing. I need to go back to the mall because I have something I need to return. I mean, yeah, I'm a tourist and I'm like right at home because I'm buying goods and returning them when they don't work which is fine. But also I have to go to the Expo 2020. I came here specifically to see that. I think it's going to be amazing. I don't know what day I'm going to do that. Maybe Sunday. And so tomorrow I'm going to go to church. I have church in Dubai. I think that would be cool. And then from there, we'll see what happens. Hopefully you guys are enjoying these videos, these vlogs I'm doing for you guys while I'm here on vacation. And if you have like some place that you think I should visit next, let me know. Maybe I might become a little travelista. I don't know. But anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. I will talk to you guys next time.
