Day 3 - December 28 - I arrive in Abu Dhabi

-

 Well I made the worst of all possible rookie mistakes... The layover in Paris kicked my you know what... so I decided to take a nap... 6 hours later I woke up.  So I missed Abu Dhabi... But what I saw on the ride from the airport to the St Regis was really impressive.  Very clean with beautiful parks and promenades along the water front.  I did see the Louvre and the building was amazing.  Of course no pictures so I've provided a link.

Here is a link to their website and information
