In Abu Dhabi

I thought I had posted before, but I don`t see it now. So, anyway, I am sitting and waiting in the Abu Dhabi airport. The airport is very American so nothing too exciting or exotic yet. They do have special prayer rooms near almost all of the bathrooms here. I have 9 more hours before my flight. I ate dinner but felt kinda strange after. I think it a combination of nerves and bad timing (I had chicken kabobs, rice and ice cream for dinner when it was breakfast time at home so my body wasn`t ready). Anyway, the people in the airport are amazingly friendly and helpful. I haven't had to exchange money yet but did get my change from dinner in United Arab Emerites currency. I will probably just keep that. I have no idea how much it is worth but it is pretty cool.

I am now going to go find a nice spot (they have really nice lounge chairs here to rest in) and read the first Twilight book. I have 9 hours to finish it!

  1. How is Twilight, besides a heavy book to carry.
    Did you get to bring a carry on. Can you see anything from the airport window? Did you get to see the islands of Dubia from the airplane? How many hours difference is there from here to there?

  3. This is like the movie "you've got mail". When I log in I really want to have "mail" from Carrie. Hope all is going well.
