Ok, after many nights of emotional ups n downs, I finally made it to Abu Dhabi!!
It was chaotic on the day I left! I got my entry visa on Wednesday and waited to hear from Kelly. Thursday came, i had a dr.'s appt and while i was there my stepmom was trying to call me, text me to tell me i was LEAVING the next day! I confirmed with Yasmin but I didnt hear back from her. So, consequently again, I thought I wasn't going. So I packed the house in a panic state -making my poor dog wonder what was going on.
Friday I tried to finish packing the house and bags. I get a email from Yasmin (forwarded by my stepmom cuz it was sent to her) and I was to get on the plane @ 8:40 p.m.! So in high gear, I spent the rest of the day packing, storage and a quick lunch. A friend of mine's husband helped me get 3 pieces of furniture to storage and on to the airport!
I flew out QATAR and it was fabulous! movie, nap, eat, movie, long nap, then breakfast then got into Doha, Qatar. Then hopped another plane into Abu Dhabi where I was met at the gate, whisked thru immagration, had a quick stop @ the Duty free shop, then a driver took me the hotel I'm at now. Whirlwind of info @ nearly midnight and was very tired- i didn't remember anything - not even the lady who met me at the hotel to check me in!
The next day was an orientation which I tried to pay attention to but was thinkinghow much i wanted to sleep! I didnt crawl into bed until 8 something last night!
We went to see our apartments today! WOW! I am gettting to live in a brand new apt.! They are still building the apartments around mine. I am making a trip to IKEA tomorrow!
I will try to upload pics later but I have to figure out how to reset the language back to English on the website!
More later!
