We mentioned recently that we joined a health club in Kuwait. We also mentioned that our heath club is a little nicer than any club we have ever been part of before. Sorry YMCA, 24 Hour Fitness, and California WOW!!, but the Corniche has put you all to shame. In ways, we feel unworthy of being members at a club so nice (remember, we are from a town where "dressing up" means you put on your nice pair of jeans, break out the newer, cleaner Keens, and switch the fleece for a Arcteryx all season shell).
Since we have paid too much for this membership, we are making sure to utilize the club to the fullest. To get our money's worth, this means that we have a new Friday routine. We go in the morning to a Body Combat class (yeah, we are great at kicking the air's ass), shower, and then post up by the pool or on the beach. We then rotate between the plunge pool (in the desert you don't have a hot tub - you have a cold tub) and our lounge chairs, alternating between reading books, looking at things online, and sleeping. Yes, we might feel a little out of place but we are quickly adapting to being members of the club.

| Such spoiled folks. "Oh, I'm just by the pool with my book and latte from the club's coffee bar!" |
 |
| The pool is kept at 31 degrees Celsius all year long. Would we call that refreshing?!? |
 |
| Need a little green in your life? Just move the lounge chairs by the beach. (Don't worry, your iPad still has full wifi). |
