From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. Tasting Ramadan at Olea. A few more sunrises and we’ll be into the season of Ramadan again.

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. And Just Like That, Ramadan is Around the Corner. Last week, I got to taste what Fümé downtown has in store for Ramadan this year. I’ve been to the one at Pier 7, but it was my first time experiencing the one in Downtown Dubai. Results: As soon as I arrived, my food-geek interest antennas awoke.

One Helluva Busy Summer - From Wet Sand to Dry Sand

http://fromwetsandtodrysand.com/2016/09/06/one-helluva-busy-summer

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. One Helluva Busy Summer. September 6, 2016. Summer of 2016 was a summer of big plans for us. We had LOTS to do for our parents, kids, us and just accumulated business to take care of while we were in the U.S. Not unusual. This is the typical expat’s life when they go home each year. There is always stuff to take care of, but for some reason this summer was absurd. The day never seems long enough when you have work to do. My summer break ...

Desperate Housewife…Not | From Wet Sand to Dry Sand

https://yali487.wordpress.com/2015/02/06/desperate-housewifenot

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. February 6, 2015. Don’t you get bored? It’s a common fatidical question posed to me, usually preceded by the other one we can never escape from:. What do you do? And though at times it can be unnerving, I realize I’d probably be asking the same question. As one can guess, I’m the clichéd trailing spouse living in Dubai. I’m here with my husband who works for so and so. Hey, you think he can get me a discount? Well, here’s my two cents&#4...

On HOME Working | From Wet Sand to Dry Sand

https://yali487.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/on-home-working

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. March 20, 2015. I’ve had a few people on and offline ask me about how they can get into working from home, so here’s a quick spiel. Depending on what you do, you can either ask your employer to let you telecommute a few days a week or you can start by doing some freelance work from home. Believe you me, there are plenty of people out there already doing what you think is a very good idea. If you become an Independent Contractor, you WILL...

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. The Prescribed Canuck Pays a Visit to Maple Leaf Restaurant. January 12, 2015. I don’t know why, but I’ve been on a quest to know what Poutine tastes like. It’s that darn FoodNetworkTV Channel. It’s bad enough we lean closer to the TV salivating from our seats, but I’ve become obsessed with trying foods I’ve never had. I’m the type to order the most eccentric thing on the menu. Never the norm. And then comes Poutine. There are different ...

From Wet Sand to Dry Sand. Life as a Caribbean Expat in the Desert. I Don’t Own The Burj Khalifa. December 29, 2014. It’s not uncommon for expats to be prodded with random, innocuous questions from friends and family. Some are smart questions driven by curiosity, some are loaded questions, and some arewell, kinda silly questions BUT, all well-intended I’m sure. They’re often the same, to the point I’ve considered turning them into a pamphlet! Do you live in a plastic bubble? A job Most people don’t just ...
