Friday was an early morning but not a difficult one. We traveled to the Fal Resort which is on the Red Sea also the location of Thursday’s dinner. It was scheduled as a ‘vacation’ morning with varied activities available--different pools, gym, sea activities including a boat ride.
Unfortunately, I was too tired to enjoy much of it. We had an early lunch then back to the hotel to check out and catch a flight to the capital city of Riyadh.
We checked into the Al Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh. Check out their website. http://www.alfaisaliahhotel.com/
We thought the Hilton was upscale but it did not compare. This is by far the most beautiful hotel any of us have ever stayed in—move over Paris.

Hi Phyllis,
Happy Easter! I think you are coming home soon, but thought I'd send a note anyway.
Your pictures are beautiful. I had no idea areas of Saudi Arabia looked like something around the Virgin Islands. I'm sure it doesn't all look that way. I still have to read your notes from each day - I've only read a few. Sounds like a very tiring trip - coming back to the ole Eldridge library will be a cinch.
Have a safe trip back and I'll see you Thursday, I think.
