Kempinski Overnight

This weekend’s adventure took me to the Djibouti Palace Kempinski Hotel (http://www.kempinski.com/en/djibouti/djibouti-palace/welcome/).  The trip was arranged through the Morale, Welfare Recreation (MWR) and consisted of an overnight stay in
the hotel.

The hotel is rated five stars and is just beautiful. It was nice to
have a much larger bathroom then the one in my CLU.  I
enjoyed a nice seafood risotto dinner at the Italian Restaurant.  The Kempinski also has a casino where I watched a friend play blackjack. He walked away a winner, but I didn’t get the itch to play myself.  Today I enjoyed relaxing sitting by the pool and pretending I was on vacation.  Wouldn’t you know though, some rain drops passed through the area.  It hardly ever rains here and of course it would the one time I’m sitting by a pool.  No worries though, the very light sprinkles quickly passed.  All too soon, the bus was there ready to take us back to camp.

It was nice to escape “reality”, even if it was just for a few hours.
