Last hotel night

Tonight is my last night at the hotel. I move into my villa tomorrow. I spent the past weekend shopping for EVERYTHING. Furniture doesn't come for 2 weeks and still have a ton of stuff to buy. It's nuts how much stuff you need to furnish an apartment from scratch. I will miss the hotel life though. I come home to a made bed and cleaned room. Free buffet breakfast every morning. Cable and internet, room service, bar service.....Sigh. I will not miss doing laundry in the bathtub and I do look forward to cooking something homestyle. The food here is very different from home. Some is good but still different.

Tomorrow is hump day for me, yay. I do like the fact that my week ends on thursday, but still having trouble with going to work on sunday. Really have to get use to that.

There's a few concerts going on here soon. A few of us are thinking about going to see Eric Clapton this weekend and Usher is coming in March. Something to look forward to. I like a few of Usher's songs, especially the latest ones but he would be good to see as well as hear :)

Talk to everyone later. Once I move tomorrow I will have limited internet access while I wait for our villas to be wired for internet. Nice. Post when I can.

Manis, Pedis and Prawns

Hey all,

Went to the City Mall on Wednesday and me and a couple of the girls got manicures and pedicures. Very nice experience. Very relaxing and nice job done but took very long time. I was there just over 2 hours and I was finished first. Total cost was 150 dirhams which is about $40 home. Not too bad. I took pics of my hands and feet but they came out blurry so can't show mani and pedi results. They are nice though.

Glo - The Salon in our mall

Sign outside the salon. I thought it was cool.



We left the salon and went to the grocery store in the mall. They have a new product:

I haven't tried it yet but we do have a vegetarian in our group so I'll have her let me know if it's any good.

Tonight a few of us went to the hotel bar to hang out and get a bite to eat. We ordered the prawns, OMG! They are an entree here, you get about 6. They are the biggest prawns I have ever seen. I had to take pics.

Now that's a big ass shrimp!
