Our Trip to Oman! Diary #1

by - April 20, 2014

Unfortunately, spring break was over two weeks ago, and schoolwork has been giving me headaches ever since :( HOWEVER, this spring break was so well spent, and i'm so proud of myself for accomplishing loads in it!
and the biggest highlight of it would be our family trip to Omaaannnnn!!!

It all started with the thought of la familia not spending some 'quality time' together, mostly because of school and dad's job... etc. We even left for the airport a day after dad's arrival from his business trip in France! (And poor him :( he was so tired!)
Anyway! we left for the airport at about 7 am, and my brothers and i were so pumped up since this was a very different kind of adventure for us, and we haven't traveled anywhere in a bit of a long time.. So we packed our handbags, got dressed, and headed to the airport where we had breakfast and waited a bit for our flight to be announced. And i don't know if it's just my parents, who like to head to the airport at LEAST two hours earlier (so yes, you can imagine us in the airport killing time on the airport's free wifi - thank God for that :P)


then FINALLY, our flight has been called out and we were on our way to the beautiful city of Muscat!


the flight was very short since Oman was so close to UAE (despite the not-so-far-away distance, Dad isn't very familiar with traveling by car, so we had to go by plane :$), and they kept on showing this short film about some Californian desert which i have no idea what has to do with our flight, but anyway, i found those 50 minutes a great deal of time for reading and listening to music :D

and well, 50 minutes, 100 or so pages, and 589648329734 songs later, we finally landed!! and honestly, all i could say, was WOW! The buildings; all short and fort-like shaped.. The streetlamps; old fashioned and beautiful.. The nature; so green and beautiful.. The sea; breathtaking.. and the people we've encountered were so nice and helpful!



i don't own these pictures because i couldn't really take proper pictures
from the taxi we were in :(

And even though i was used to the sea here in Abu Dhabi, something about the sea there took my breath away, and i spent so much time on the beach, clearing my mind off things, reading, and walking by the shoreline.


The hotel we stayed in - Crowne Plaza, was a different matter! It was so splendid and grand, with a beautiful view, and my brothers and i got to stay in our own room (which surprisingly, we didn't mess much.......... honestly :P) and here are some pictures..






saw this at the main entrance, and thought it was super smart and cool!

the rest of the day was a relaxed day.. we had lunch at the hotel's restaurant (which wasn't veeeeeeeeeeeeeery pleasing :$ hehe) and my brothers went swimming later on, and surprise surprise, i went to za beach!


hehe i collected so many cute little shells =3
might as well turn them into something useful ;)

and with that, the first day ended.. restful and well spent with the fam :D


until the next post!! take care!
Live, Laugh, Love, and keep smiling ;) xx
