Stay: Al Maha Arjaan Hotel Apartments, Abu Dhabi – v2

A week before we traveled to LA, we had the opportunity to stay at Al Maha Arjaan in Abu Dhabi once again. They just renovated their rooms so it was a pleasant surprise. The whole look and feel of the hotel is so much different from the last time we were there!

STAY: Majlis Grand Mercure, Abu Dhabi

During my family’s visit last April, we decided to visit the capital – Abu Dhabi. I asked my cousin to look for a good place to stay (read – affordable!). We were a big group so we needed a big place to stay in. The plan was to stay for one night and then go back to Dubai the next day.

Staycation: Al Maha Arjaan Rotana, Abu Dhabi

Some time in July (2015) we decided to go visit the capital, Abu Dhabi. It was a long weekend because of the Eid holidays so we had time to burn. We wanted to have the  usual staycation but Dubai hotels are super expensive during this time and they were all fully booked by the time we were able to confirm our days off. 

So, a trip to Abu Dhabi happened. To be honest, we were on a budget so a resort hotel was out of the question. We decided to stay at Al Maha Arjaan Rotana because of several reasons. 

  1. It offered reasonable rates. 
  2. They honored The Entertainer vouchers. 
  3. It is at the heart of the city!

Festive Season Offers at Ghurair Rayhaan

I’m having mini panic attacks again, just like last year, when I realized how close Christmas is! Of course, I haven’t bought gifts yet. I’m the queen of last minute shopping. LOL

Las Vegas, Nevada

We left our temporary home base in Las Vegas to go to Hoover Dam. It was about an hours drive via I-215 E and US-93 S.

We stopped to take photos at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The parents also needed to stretch their legs so we happily obliged. 😛

AB&Me Travels: Las Vegas Day 1

[This is part of our US trip in March. We are currently in Dubai as of this posting]

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
03.23.15

At this point of our vacation, I was half and half. I was excited because we are going on a road trip. On the other hand, I feel emotional because our flight back to Dubai was just 3 days away. Oh well, all good things must come to an end, right? 

How could I not be emotional? I was leaving my family behind. My parents whom I want to spend more time with. I want Blake to be very close to them too. My sister, whom I’ve missed so much. My cousins whom I have not seen in a long time — some of them I just met during this visit!

Anyhoo, let’s save the drama for another post.
