This weekend we had a bit of a break in Fujairah at the Le Meridien Al Aqah. It's a 20 story hotel (see below) about 130 kms from Dubai on the east coast of the Emirates. Lovely place, and the service from the staff was outstanding. The place has a wonderful pool and a beautiful beach.

The kids swam like there was no tomorrow. Both of them are pretty amazing in the water now. Jaime in particular has come on in leaps and bounds. She can swim pretty much as far as she wants now - comes up, takes a breath, and then puts her head down and starts kicking again. Pretty much doesn't need the water wings any more.

The kids had so much fun - as you can see below they found many different ways to enter the water, and even did a little levitating on the way...
