Sorry to hear that ME and I hope you both soon get over it.    My wife caught chickenpox in Lanzarote some years ago so I can imagine what it's like for you.

No, it is taken outside one of the private villas on the estate of houses that are behind the St Regis Saadiyat Island. I remember you were asking about this hotel. We spent last week there and I thought it was even better than last time. Good service and food. I persuaded Mr Hollins (action man) to come with me this time and much to my surprise he really enjoyed it. There is a fantastic gym there open 24/7 and we had fun playing tennis and table tennis.

I love the idea of the hotel serviced residences and villas  that some of the decent chains have over there and in the States.
We had already booked our week over there but defiantly fancy the St Regis next time.
We have enjoyed the Fairmont over the years in fairness but it lacks a decent beach.
The new Ritz Carlton is too big in our view and you can't beat a nice beach can you?
Oman is still on our list to visit list, so many places but so little time to visit!
Back to the subject of cars it is like a huge motor show over there with some very special cars, we love seeing them rolling up at the hotels of an evening.

Yes, that is good sport. I am always amazed how the drivers seem totally happy just to get out of their hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of cars and let them be valet parked.

No, Snowcap, not wrong thread, the subject jumped a few postings.

Poor ME and his Missis have had a lot to put up with without this. Let us all hope they both get well soon and are out and about in their 'famous' car :)
