My friend Cheryl made it and we are having a good time enjoying the "cold" weather. It's been in the high 80's in the afternoon and in the 60's in the evenings.
We went to Abu Dhabi this weekend and it really is christmas time in the city especially at the Emirates Palace. The Emirates Palace is a fancy schmancy hotel that costs way too much for girls like us to be sleeping in. It's about $1,500 for a modest room for one night but, walking tours are free.
The man at the gate told us we needed a reservation for a tour and I told him that I was going back to Al Ain that night and that meant my guest from America wouldn't see the hotel. We smiled, Cheryl flipped her blonde hair and walah, like magic he waved us through. (ok maybe she didn't flip her hair but, I couldn't see her when I was facing the man talking to him so she could have been flipping her blonde hair).
Finally, after some smiles and maybe some hair flipping we got to see the gorgeous, sort of tacky and super expensive Christmas Tree in the lobby! (capitalization of Christmas Tree is necessary for a tree of this sorts)
