36 Weeks: Holiday in the Sun

If anybody else tells me to ‘relax’ and ‘take it easy’ or ‘its best to stay home now that you are 9 months pregnant’ I may just box them around the ears. At 36 weeks pregnant I am overflowing with energy, I feel strong and still have the will as well as the wherewithal to go exploring, walking, swimming and even dancing (more on that in my next dispatch to Seahorse)…

Resort Vacation for the Hartleys – Early November 2013: Park Hyatt, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi

So with Erroll having taken a week off from work, the Hartleys were on vacation. Last time we took leave together was on our Babymoon – a good ten weeks ago. In the interim, Erroll (reluctantly, may I add) had sent me to Australia, Milan and most recently, Paris. There was just no way I could be contained, in my state of pregnancy, all jittery with feel-good hormones and fattening up such a great appetite I was developing, in Dubai.

Resort Vacation for the Hartleys – Early November 2013: Park Hyatt, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi

This holiday – to Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi – was perfectly timed. I was nearing breaking point what with the hectic nature of my work and our dear friends Adam and Camilla were getting married at the Park Hyatt which is located on this pristine island, and with one week’s leave to fill in, Erroll and I decided to treat ourselves to some five star pampering. What better way to do so than with a decadent holiday in the sun.
