Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building standing at 2,7165.5 feet and more than 160 stories. It also houses the Armani Hotel, which I had the pleasure of staying in 2016.

Every night from 6p-11p, and every half-hour you can view the 2-5 minute fountain show. There are also LED Shows that light up the Burj Khalifa, and those delightful to see, as well!

I highly recommend a trip to Dubai at least once in your life. There’s plenty to do and see for kids of all ages!

A few of my favorite things…
1. Palm trees 🌴
2. A pool with a view (there’s an ocean view to the right.)
3. Big neon Art Deco lights in Miami
4. A beach and a moon that’s growing.
5. Seeing my favorite travel clothes in a pop-up shop where I’m staying. I’ve been wearing for at least five years. Their lightweight, never wrinkle, stylish clothes work in a meeting, on the plane, or while sightseeing. 😊
6. A reminder of where I am. (I love the colorful lifeguard house!)
7. A rainbow over the water. 🌈

These are just a few things that can make a good staycation great.

Happy Travel Tuesday! 🛫
