I'm a desert rose in Abu Dhabi

The flight had to be rerouted to Al Ain airport for a couple hours because there was heavy fog in Abu Dhabi. I'm now in the Dhabi, the flight was great, Etihad has this personal entertainment system that makes time fly. I sat next to the great lady who is an OBGYN living here. She was fun to talk to. Didn't get any sleep though, it's now 12:30 am on Friday for me, but the local time is 9:30 am...my flight to delhi is boarding now, and it will take about 3 hours to get there. Hoping I get some sleep on this flight. This airport is cool, looks like a giant green and blue honeycomb dome...plus free internet so how can you go wrong.

I saw the desert, my seat mate told me I should come back one day and take a desert tour...wind surf on the sand...sounds like it will make my to do list. There are some sheiks here...very cool experience, althought shortlived....

On to the motherland!

Wind surf in the sand - tres cool! We miss you here already. All things that are nelu-esque bring fond memories and salty tears to my eyes. Love the random meeting of strangers (safe ones that is). I'll be reading this blog to enjoy distant whispers from your journey. Much love.
