My 45th birthday fell on a weekend, but it also fell on the day before Islamic New Year, so that means no alcohol from 6pm. Bummer. No problem, there are ways around that.
1. Brunch. Brunch isn't just a meal that falls between breakfast and lunch. No. Brunch is an event. Brunch can cost from about $30.00 to $200.00! It usually includes all you can drink alcohol, which spells trouble for most people. So, a couple of my friends and I headed to Abu Dhabi for some brunch and some drinks.
After brunch, I headed to a GREAT room I reserved at the St. Regis Hotel. It was really beautiful, and includes a butler that will come and press your clothes for you if needed.

| Super comfy beds! |
 |
| Hmmm...a "relief" pack. What's that? |
 |
| Ahhhh...got it. |
 |
| The bathroom was done completely in a gorgeous marble. |
 |
| For freshening up a bit! |
 |
| Shower? |
 |
| A t.v. built into the mirror in case you want to watch Mission Impossible III while taking a bath. |
 |
| I loved the light fixtures too! |
 |
| 2. Champagne in the room! After a night of films at the film festival and alcohol isn't being served, just bring your own! |
 |
| Beautiful smelling gardenias. |

| Lastly, before starting my workout regimen on my new elliptical trainer I bought for my birthday...a huge bucket of mussels from the Belgium Cafe. Yum! |
