Greetings from Dubai. The Walk and living in adventures and busy JBR. Expat life at its best. Abu Dhabi right down the road being next in line for me! I have been to Oman twice in my many expat UAE years and stayed on its northern coast at Zighy Bay. A wonderful weekend escape, but not really something I cannot get in and around Dubai or Umm Al Quwain. I am however not a Muscat Bull kind of girl, but nevertheless hoping you will find what you seek. All the best…lilly!

Currently in San Antonio, TX but the boyfriend was just sort of given a very nice house in Beaumont, TX for the next several years so there's a good chance we'll be moving.

Will be traveling to Seattle end of the month, any recommendations? Fish market? Space needle? Mariners game?

There's a lot going on in Seattle for visitors! The Pike Place Market is generally a must-see. It exists on several levels with the top being adjacent to First Avenue and connecting down a series of stairs to the waterfront, which is another Seattle staple. The Space Needle is indeed an icon. I hate the price of it but it's generally a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. The surrounding Seattle Center, site of the 1962 fair, often has some interesting things happening (concerts, festivals, operas, etc). Pioneer Square is a historic district at the south end of downtown. Though it is much-criticized for the presence of homeless, this is the unfortunate fact for every west coast city, worse now up and down the coast than ever before. There is a fascinating underground Seattle tour based down there...the history of the city from its early days really is interesting. If you like baseball, the Mariners game is always fun...it's really a nice stadium, even if the home team isn't necessarily the hottest thing around. My favorite place to visit with guests from out of town is the Hiram Chittenden locks on the Ship Canal. It's a fascinating look at local shipping with a fish ladder, interesting interpretive center, and spectacular botanical gardens. Likewise, though I generally avoid "touristy" things, I've found that the harbor tours in most cities are well worthwhile, and Seattle offers one that starts on the waterfront (right below the Pike Place Market) and traverses the locks into Lake Union; it's highly recommended.

Of course there is the decent downtown Seattle Art Museum, as well as several excellent local galleries and museums. The Museum of Flight at Boeing Field is a must for aviation enthusiasts. For visitors to the PNW, the Seattle Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) is really excellent. It's at the south end of Lake Union immediately adjacent to the Center for Wooden Boats, which is a nice stop and offers free rowboats on a first-come, first-served basis. There's a fascinating floating home community on the lake that is really interesting to see from a boat. Another typical northwesty thing to do is to ride a ferry. You can walk on to one of the downtown ferries to Vashon Island or Bainbridge Island, then spend some time walking around the artsy little towns on the respective islands.

There is a good train from the airport to downtown, and Seattle has a pretty decent public transit system, combining trains and busses. I don't know if you'll be renting a car, but the city is a bit difficult for driving even for those of us who know the area because of (a) terrific ongoing urban growth, and (b) the geography of the area, which means pinch points (bridges, tunnels, and hills). The growth of the tech industry downtown has resulted in unbelievable growth.

Bring a rain shell and a fleece sweater...you could well end up with temps in the 70s or even 80s, but you could also see "Juneuary" weather with temps in the 50s and rain. I hope you have a great trip!
