I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I got a little busy this week and haven't had time to keep up my furious blogging pace. Filling in for a 6th grade teacher can really take it out of you. I need a vacation from my seven days of work. That being the case, I think we should revisit the idea of taking the bachelor party out to Dubai.
Dubai has been on a tear recently and has been building like crazy. They know the oil isn't going to last forever so they are planning ahead and trying to get some tourism going.
Look at the growth in just 13 years, they even developed color! They have made the world's tallest building.
An indoor ski area:
And they are building the world:
They have dispersed their wealth...well, no, not really. Just the wealthy are doing well, like it should be. They've got some crazy hotels and crazier things to see. Granted, they do have Ferrari World.
There are some drawbacks though. Being an Islamic country, there are some restrictions. But if you have money, they have what you want. Heck, some of the hotels have a fleet of Rolls Royce's for their guests to be chauffeured around in. So all we have to do is get to the Mid-East where Americans are loved. We can leave B there to soak up the culture. A bit risky, sure, but how often do you get to hang out where they are crazy enough to build a ski slope in the middle of the desert? That's something not even Las Vegas has touched yet. Your move America!
One of the major responsibilities that being a groomsdude and blog writer entails is to think of some good idea for the bachelor party. Thankfully for B, I have two other groomsdudes to help me out in planning. Otherwise we would be spending a few nights in beautiful Duarte, heck, Duarte has a Sonic now! Every good bachelor party should have someone on roller skates bringing you some tater-tots.
Now, to throw B some clues, we have been talking about destinations for the bachelor party. Bad news for B though, is you have three married guys who have kids planning your bachelor party. If it were solely up to us, we would just rent four different hotel rooms on the beach and sleep the weekend away and maybe watch some tv. We'll be lucky if we get to eat without having to move plates, silverware, glasses, condiments, and food outside of a four foot radius of someone.
Sure, we could do Vegas, but it seems so played out. B likes it, but where would be the fun for us seeing B get lost in a new city? In fact, he once met me in Chicago and he was afraid to take the L. Whimp.
Mexico is another option, but I hear you can't drink the water. While I pretend that I can speak Spanish, I don't know if it will get us very far.
How about New York? The Big Apple! Lodging is expensive and where would you even begin? Plus, we are planning on a February trip and if you haven't noticed, New York is cold in February.
Miami? Naw, Jersey Shore was there and it is ruined forever.
Chicago? Again, the cold plays in, but they do have the Weber Grill, the best restaurant idea ever! Everything is cooked over charcoal on Weber Grills indoors. Delicious.
Somewhere in Texas? This oddly has some potential, only to see B squirm at the idea of having to go to Texas. Granted, we would go to a cool city like Austin or San Antonio. Sorry Big D (that's Dallas).
Now I like Nashville for some reason. Great BBQ and you simply smell like hickory smoke wherever you go.
Dubai is an option, but only if B is paying. But I think we should stay at the world's best hotel , the Burj Al Arab.
I think we may have to explore this idea a bit more.
In other news, it turns out your favorite Vanilla Ice song is "Play That Funky Music." Interesting taste readers.
