I believe that if you have moved away from family one of the most difficult times is holidays and birthdays. We make our best effort to celebrate and be there for each other. We had a great weekend celebrating Stacy's 20th year of being 25 and fabulous!
Well the weekend started at Maya Island is just 3.5 miles, or 9 kilometers cruise off Abu Dhabi - a perfect getaway....best described as spring break for ADULTS! It's hard to believe just fifteen minutes from the mainland....there is paradise.
 |
| On our way....we can see it! |
 |
| The pier....we are docking! |
 |
| The calm before the STORM! |
 |
| The chairs are calling us..... |
 |
| The Birthday Girl! |
 |
| Good Times! |
Day Two....The celebration continues - changing
the venue to one of Abu Dhabi's finest hotel and
resorts, the Park Hyatt on Saadiyat Island!
This is no SPRING BREAK....this is luxury!
So, you can check in the for the day for a fee,
get a room and access to the entire resort!
 |
Let the celebration begin!
 |
 |
Very nice spacious room....not an amenity is spared.
We know because we looked everywhere! |
 |
Drawers and drawers with amenities!
 |
Tea or coffee?
 |
|
 |
Just what every party needs to get started....
a good jolt of expresso! |
 |
| No time to sleep....it's a birthday party! |
 |
| Just like the Fairmount Bab Al Bahar..... |
 |
| I guess the birthday girl gets the robe! |
 |
| The views from our room. |
 |
| The patio.... |
 |
Much better.....
 |
Better Yet!
|
|
 |
It's not the art work....although nice......
where in the world can I find a ceiling fan in the UAE! |
 |
Party Planner ......even after having surgery that morning!
Wouldn't miss today.....plus I am the official photographer! |
 |
| My Jackie O look.....and it's time to get outside! |
 |
| Personal veranda's with our own staff! |
 |
| The ones that could get wet. |
 |
...I'm staying cozy in the shade!
|
 |
Sure it looks fun in the pool, but I'm having a great
time here on my comfy chaise....said no one EVER! |
 |
| The girls Mojito's! |
 |
| As designated photographer and taxi hailer I stuck to Diet Coke! |
 |
| Cheers! |
 |
| Cheers from the Chaise! |
 |
| Snacks....but don't fill up....dinner tonight! |
 |
| This is calling Duane! |
 |
| A beautiful resort! |
 |
| No WORDS! Just take it in! |
Three words: Girlfriends are BEST!
