Alright,since you asked nicely, I'll give you some suggestions:
-For the inlaws, take them on the Big Bad Bus Tour, then to Bastakiya, then an abra ride, then to the museum and the souks ( preferably from Museum head to Deira Naif Souk on the abra, a nice experience), then go to Al Hallab Resto in Al Garhoud for an authentic Lebo food...
-For bowling, there is the bowling place in Al Quoz, behind MOE,if I'm not mistaken...
-For the wife, give her 200 bucks, put her on a taxi, and all of a sudden Dubai will be paradise...

never wanted one due to the tax that you have to pay. We go to Baracuda to stock up ;) and yes it's illegal etc but so are lots of things but it doesn't stop people doing it does it :confused:

girlfriend! not a good idea unless she has a full time job to get her own visa :huh:
