It's Saturday, August 20th and I've been in Abu Dhabi for four days now. On Tuesday, August 16th I boarded a plane bound to Doha, Qatar from Philadelphia, PA. After a 3 hour layover in Doha, I finally landed in Abu Dhabi the following day.
This was my very first international flight and it went pretty smoothly. We had a little turbulence, but it was a great flight. Qatar Airways is a first class airline and they did not disappoint. We were fed 3 meals and we had plenty of entertainment on board. In between sleeping, I watched 3 movies: Barbershop 3, Creed, and one of my favorites Hair Spray. I also listened to music and read books on my kindle. The flight to Doha was about 12 hours.
I transferred planes in Doha, still using the same airline. The first leg of my trip was first class, the second part was...I guess I was spoiled with the big plane and comfy seats. Once I made it to my seat on the second plane, I immediately began to dose off. The fight from Doha to Abu Dhabi was 90 minutes long but it felt like 30.
After getting my passport stamped, I picked up my luggage and headed to the arrival hall where I was greeted by my Principal and other HR representatives. I was so thankful that I made it to Abu Dhabi safely, and with no mishaps. After I arrived two more of my colleagues arrived, and wouldn't you know one is from Jersey too! We eventually left the airport and was taken to our accommodations.
We're already off to a great start, here in Abu Dhabi! I'll write more about my accommodations in another post. It's getting late here, and tomorrow is the first day of work.
Until next time...
