we're here!!!!

Hello! We are in Abu Dhabi, it's HOT and we'vejust been swimming.

First though, thankyou so much to everyone who cameto our leaving party. It was the most amazing night and meant a lot to us. Thanks especially to Fliss and Sian for the ( cakes )

( both of them )

Ok, we're really new at this so I'll try and see if that worked then let Ari say some stuff cos she's bored.

Oh, also, anyone know how to make those pics smaller? We already made them 25% of original size on Photobucket.

Hello my darlings!

Hello everyone! We smell like a swimming pool right now, ha ha ha! We put on our bikinis, went onto the roof, and swam in warm water. Then we watched the sun set over the Corniche. We were nearly caught kissing in the jacuzi by a big Arabic bloke who'd brought his kids up for a swim. We must be more careful.

But we had the most nightmarish time getting here from Dubai. We ended up having to get a taxi from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, which is a fucking long way, but no buses. We got in and everything was ok until we got near Abu Dhabi and discovered that our taxi driver was too blind to read the road signs. We got lost, ended up on the road back to Dubai and only made it back into Abu Dhabi by getting him to drive slowly so we could read the road signs for him. Once into the city he had to ask a passing taxi driver for directions to my street. He had no idea where he was or what he was doing and it was four in the morning and we'd had no sleep and we nearly died!

We're ok now though.

We're actually having the best time, woo hoo!

Thankyou so much for the party. It was amazing to see so many people who love us in the same room.

Ooh, exciting news, Jorden (our Jorden, not tits Jordan) has had a baby and his name is Keiran and he is the most gorgeous baby. Jorden let us hold him for an hour and a half, and it was amazing to hold something that fragile and warm and heavy. Jorden is in love with him. She looks beautiful.

me again!

Hello!

We have decided by the way that I am going to write stuff in bold and italic like this and Ari not, like this. I am very glas the thingwith the photos worked! I am both proud of myself and grateful to Morag.(by the way I can't work out how to use the icon you made us. Sorry.)

Yesterday was the best day. We had a lovely baked potato in the airport, then finally got on the plane, which was amazing. Ari tells me I'm 'such a gauche tourist' but I don't care and even she has to admit Emirates is an amazing airline. We had two seats by the window and we weren't next to anyone else so good for not getting cramped. We had little screens in the back of the seats with TV and really cool games!!! Food was yummy and flight generally amazing. Then of course we got off the plane -into 33 degree heat at half midnight. We had to queue for an hour at immigration then the nightmare taxi journey, but finally got to bed at 6am!

Anyway, Ari's Mum's made ribs so I'll have to go.

We miss you all!!!!
