Happy Mardi Gras! I've never really celebrated the holiday (it's always on a school night!) but this year I sort-of did by chairing the AWA Mardi Gras Gala.
It was a great learning experience and kept me busy for my first 8-9 months in Dubai. I met tons of people and really learned my way around the city. Plus, I had a ton of fun Friday night at the event. The set up that day was a mad rush (they always are) to get everything up and ready, but I had a great team working along side of me, and everything that evening went off without a hitch! Cirque du Soleil even made a surprise visit. They are in town performing, and I guess had a small show upstairs from our ballroom. The hotel was kind enough to ask if they'd come down and do a quick 10 minute performance and they obliged! It was very cool and the perfect kick-off to the evening.

Next up, Ryan and I are planning some travel. I turn 30 in April so we're celebrating with a trip to Vietnam.
