I finally got settled in and now have internet!!! Woohooo!!! It feels like I have a piece of my soul back, I know that sounds dramatic but seriously. I don't think I could have handled staying one more night on my little tiny cot/bed with the other two guys. We get along just fine but staying in such a small space for that many days was not the most fun thing ever.
The place here is beautiful, the beach is amazing and it's right outside so we can go chill out there anytime we want. The food is great, a big buffet like we've had before but they change the food in this one every meal so it's always something different, and there's lots of veggies and fresh stuff, mmmmm! The pool is great and the gym is really nice too, but we're only allowed to use both of those until 2pm. I don't know why we have a time limit but whatever. We'll probably spend most of our time at the beach anyway. The apartments we are living in are right across the street from the hotel. We have a nice kitchen, living room and then three bedrooms and two baths. In my apartment it's me, Trina, and Frank. Should be a pretty good situation. I'm especially excited because Trina has a Wii so we can play that all the time!!
Around town there's pretty much nothing, they have like one grocery store that we can walk to which takes about 20 minutes. And then everything else we pretty much have to take a taxi. It's a very expensive place so I don't think we'll be going very far. 1 Riyal = 2.80 US and a taxi is usually a base of 4 Riyals. So there's an example for ya.
Tonight is our opening night, it should be pretty good. Their weeks here are different than everywhere else in the world, their weekend is Wednesday and Thursday and so our day off here is Saturday, so weird right?
Sorry this post is kind of all over the place, I just had a lot to write and I couldn't organize my thoughts too well. We're just about to head to dinner so I have to stop here. I'll write again soon and post some pictures!
