Booked: Sofia, Bulgaria AND London, United Kingdom

In the UAE, next week is Eid Al Fitr (the end of Ramadan).  It's a big deal.  Such a big deal that the government announced yesterday that everyone gets the entire week off work.

YESSSSS!

So naturally, Sven and I booked another trip.  This time we're going to London, via Bulgaria.  Steven and I went to London together 10+ years ago, and we've wanted to return ever since.  And with the recent Brexit upheaval, we realized that London is probably the most affordable it's ever been in our lifetimes.
In London together in 2005. So young and cute.
I'm especially proud of the airline tickets on this one.  While the markets immediately reacted to the Brexit vote, the airline prices haven't budged yet.  When I checked yesterday, it was still ~$1,200 USD to fly from Dubai to London.  But now that I'm getting better at travel hacking, I was able to hack together a route for 1/3 the price.  It means we stop in Sofia, Bulgaria for a day on each end, but we're totally fine with that.

I WIN!

End of story.
