Celebrating birthdays in Abu Dhabi...

Had a great long weekend with friends in Abu Dhabi...no need to worry about the travel warnings. Very safe in UAE. it was fun to spend time enjoying the pool and Arabian Sea and the desert. But it of course was HOT. Around 40 to 44 C or 110 F. That is hot...

But we spent our time in the pool, sea or AirCon. We enjoyed a desert safari which is where we rode jeeps through the sand dunes and the see some camels and enjoy a great Arabic BBQ for dinner. We also enjoyed a cruise through the sea with Captain Tony. Beautiful sea with really warm water - around 92 F. Got to try paddle boarding. Getting ready for Hawaii. Mike joined from USA and got to ring in our birthdays together. Here are some pictures from the fun weekend!
