Impulse

Not having even got around to properly blogging about Rome as yet, including the proposal and acceptance of marriage on the first night on a rooftop terrace overlooking the city with a full moon and a pianist singing Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" in the background, I now find myself doing what is quite possibly the maddest, most impulsive thing in my life.

Today, the fiancee and I booked a flight for tomorrow to Dubai for a long weekend so that we can get her a good deal on a ring! How wacky is that?!

We had planned a quiet weekend going to Hatton Garden to find a nice ring but then we heard how you could get things so much cheaper in Dubai, even taking the flight and hotel costs into account, that we just went a bit crazy and booked a last minute deal for a VERY good price.

We are flying with Emirates and staying in a five star hotel for three nights and a friend of mine's sister works at Heathrow so has put us on the list for the executive lounge to boot!

My head has yet to stop spinning!!!!!
