Joanne and I are all packed and ready to go. Seems like it has just snuck up on us. I have a suitcase with all the stuff Jodie ordered on-line and delivered to me to bring back to her. It is very expensive to ship anything over there. Her suitcase weights 45.6 pounds - under the 50 pound limit. My suitcase is below that I think because it isn't near as heavy as hers.
We board the plane in the Sault at 9:55 am tomorrow, Wednesday and arrive in Abu Dhabi on Thursday 7:30 pm their time which is 11:30 am our time. A little confusing but they are 8 hours ahead of us.
We have a 5 hour layover in Toronto but Joanne has access to the Air Canada Lounge. We fly out of Toronto at 4:30 to Frankfurt, then on to Abu Dhabi. No direct flight for me!!!
Jodie has planned to go to a "Brunch" on Friday. Abu Dhabi's brunches are epic. It includes all your drinks and food and it lasts all afternoon. A good way to cure our jet lag. I hope we cab it!!!
Sunday, Joanne and I head to Dubai for a few days of sight seeing. I have booked a "hop on hop off" bus tour for 2 days. A good way to see the sights when you don't have a car. And every night in Dubai is Ladies' Night!! Free drinks and discounted food!! We will also do the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world. They have an observation deck located on there 124th floor which is located at a height of 488 metres.
The next weekend we are off to the Tilal Liwa Hotel in the Rub Al Khali desert for an overnite stay.
Plus all the fun we will have with Monty and Charlie, the reason for our visit.
THEN, we fly back with Jodie and the boys on July 3rd and they will be with us for 3 weeks here.
It is going to be an adventure!!!!
ps - the average daily temperature right now in Abu dhabi is about 40 degrees C during the day and about 31 degrees C at night - I won't need my hoodie!!!
