My boyfriend and I are going on vacation for 9 days in September 2007. I want to go to Dubai because there is a gorgeous beach with really blue water, along with an indoor ski resort, city, nightlife, shopping, sand dunes and the latest and greatest architecture! My boyfriend wants to go to a deserted island like Bora Bora where there is BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR water, but I think we would get bored after 3-4 days and I would get island fever! Anyone been on any of these two? If not, have any of these places come to your mind?

What would you choose?

If none of these appeal to you, where would you go?

BTW, my boyfriend is originally from the UK and I am Vietnamese-American (born and raised in Texas). We both reside in Northern California just to give you a background of us. Also, we have never been to either of these places.

Thanks for any of your opinions and output in advance!

I found two that are similar, and I want to know which you like better.

The reason I like these rings so much is twofold – the metals they are made of (titanium and tungsten) are indestructable (especially tungsten), just like my love for him. Plus, he’s really active and would break/bend a gold ring. Second reason I like them is the woods they incorporate – redwood *responsibly harvested* is the oldest living thing on the earth – symbolizing longevity and permanence – ditto with the romantic meanings there. The ancient kauri wood is a similar thing – the wood has endured for 50,000 years…shows how endless my love for him is…

Do you like these? Do you agree with the sentiments/symbolism? Do you think he would like it?

I’m a total mushball…I know….:D

redwood, but how many types of redwoods are there and how do you tell them apart?
I guess what I am asking is when I look at a tree, how can I tell if it is a redwood, sequoia, or cedar as they all have red trunks

I’ll be in NY for a almost 2 days, and I want to see some of the city. The hotel I’m staying at is the Hilton Garden Inn at the JFK Airport, which is a good distance away from attractions and sites. Some people say to just use the Airtran to get down there, b/c it’s cheaper. I would like to take one of those tours if possible. How do I go about booking one? Any suggestions? Also, do you think it’s just better to take the Airtran or a shuttle downtown?
