Was just interested to know why would u need a waterproof shoe?

Hehehehe! Well this is as a result of a horror story a friend of mine told me. She lives in Seattle and was walking home one winter's evening in a light rain and she got splashed by a passing car. She was wearing regular sneakers so her feet got soaked and by the time she got home, her feet were completely numb. She got out a lukewarm foot bath to soak in and apparently the pain was excruciating.

So I figured since I am initially going to be doing A LOT of walking, I may as well go prepared for anything. ;D

Hi Wendy,

You made the right choice going with BA. Biju is absolutely right. The 3 hour transit is the best option as I always book the 3 hour option ticket for my mom as she visits my brother who lives in Vancouver.

I am waiting for the day when I book the ticket for me and my family. I guess there are a few months remaining, hopefully not more than 6 months. All the best! It will be your last official new year in Dubai for the coming years.

Best
Ali

Thanks Ali, I feel more confident about my choice of flight now. I really hope you get to hear something from the VO at the earliest as well. All the best!

If u walk around much with 'rain-boots' on...:
1. Your feet'd perspire & it'd get real uncomfortable;
2. It'd look funny on a non-rainy day;
3. If not 'on' how do u intend tagging them along?

That friend's case is an one-off scenario... there'd be many other things to care for once u r here. BTW, rain-boots r commonly available in every store here [during the season -- Vancouver / all the time!].

Good luck on your Nov-11 landing. Ma'am !

hehehehe! Thank you Captain, but I'm not looking for rain boots per se. I'm looking for something else, I guess I'll know exactly what once I see them. Well, all in good time I suppose.

Also, I'll be landing in the first week of Jan 2012 so I still have some time to get things in order here before I go.

Kind regards
Wendy ;D

Thanks for making it... taking time-off from your busy schedules... but yes, such meets r required in today's world... there r lots which the internet might just not offer us... which only a physical meet can.

Special thanks to the ladies & the kids who came along... u guys made the event colorful!

And can we ever say enough on Biju's organizing capabalities? Kudos to him for keeping the platform alive, after we [the first D2C members] left Dubai !

Keep up the good work ppl... here's 3-Cheers to everyone !

And congrats to all who got their PPRs/COPRs/Meds lately...
All the best guys !

Dear Seniors from Dubai,

Somebody please tell me what is the validity of the DD issued by Al Fardan Exchange, UAE.

My DD was drawned on 13 Aug 2011. Until today the DD has not been encashed. As per Al Fardan the validity of the DD is for 03 months from the date of issue. But there is no DD expiry date mentioned on my DD. CIC received my application on 09 Sept 2011, i am really worried since my DD will get expired on 13 Nov 2011.

Is there any one who had a DD from Al Fardan Exch and got it encashed even after 03 months from the date of issue of DD.
