We are going to the Red Bull Air Race 2008! The first leg of the tournament is being held in Abu Dhabi along the Corniche. The Corniche, for those not familiar with Abu Dhabi, is the long beachfront lined with parks, gardens, mazes, childrens playgrounds, and a walkway. We have tickets for the special area were we can watch the action on giant screens, eat from the buffet, drink the drinks, and be protected from the sun whilst sitting and relaxing. We will be away from the hordes of people watching it from the public areas, and right in front of the action!
Check out their site if you want to learn a little more about it. We are going Friday, since that is the final day of two day race. Besides it is the only day I have off. After that, Indian food at a posh restaurant that has been called Abu Dhabi's best Indian food by people in the know.
Edit by Elysia: Since this outing to the air races and posh restaurant is a pricey one we're calling this Wes' early birthday weekend (for those that don't know it, Wes' real birthday is in about two weeks). Wes also forgot to mention that we're going with Alex and Angela (a British married couple we met through the paper). Good times.

That sounds like fun. They will be in Detroit in May/June. Might be fun to go watch from the cheap seats along the river.
