If you haven't sent me your flight details, please do. Barring something weird, I will meet you at Dubai International. I have information sheets for everyone with villa details (location, hints, suggestions etc) that the villa owner sent. Just fun and exciting reading and makes it all seem real.
Once you clear customs you can buy booze at the duty free at Dubai International so you don't have to worry about getting it prior to that. The villa details will have what the limits are, but they are quite generous - like 4 bottles each.
I am killing the grocery kitty. I will cover all basic groceries. If you want something unusual or special (diet Pepsi for Lynda!), then you can get that one your own, but I will cover the basic meals stuff.
You should each plan on about a 100 - 200 dirham tip for Jason upon departure to say thank you. That is about $35 - $70.
Colin suggested the Dubai day trip. It is one of those hop on hop off deals and is a great way to see the city and get around. I was talking to someone who said it was very good and even suggested the two day pass.
I will do more posts on what to pack etc., but if you have any questions, just shoot.

I hope they have diet Pepsi in Dubai. If not... I might have to cancel my plane ticket. ;)
I'm not counting on it. They'll probably have diet Coke, but it's not the same... We could always bring some?
My concern is that I'll need a whole suitcase full, which may be difficult to explain to customs...
Hmmmm... I wonder if you can buy just the diet pepsi syrup somewhere? Then we'd just need to buy some carbonated water when we get there. Although - would half a suitcase of diet Pepsi syrup be any easier to explain to customs than a full suitcase of diet pepsi?
Lynda,
I hope you don't have any objections to being our booze-mule? It would be a shame to let your 4 bottle limit go to waste and lay unclaimed at Dubai Duty Free.
Indeed, that would be a shame. Not a problem!
