Good-bye Dubai!

24 Nov. Thursday:  Everyone at home is about wake up on Thanksgiving Day to enjoy the company of friends and family and make every attempt to prepare and eat all the enjoyable food they possibly can.  Oh yes, and all the American Football games, I won’t miss that! 

It is now 3pm in Dubai and we are already at the airport because IMG_1870we really couldn’t think of anything else we wanted to do. We are well aware that we have a 10.5 hour wait for our flight to take off.  However, to wait at the airport or wait at a mall, makes very little difference to us.   A 2-day stay here would have been enough for us.  For us it was one of those places to see check off our “to do” list, so we are glad that we saw it of course.

After arrival to the airport we had our lunch, some delicious lamb curry.  It was the spiciest curry we have had but still quite delicious.  We will miss eating lamb so frequently as it is quiteIMG_1871 expensive to buy at home.  We have a nice window seat and a place to put our feet up so we can relax, read, play cards, take turns walking around and check in when the KLM/Delta counter opens up. On one of my walks I found a nice coffee place with overstuffed chairs and latte!!!  I’m happy now!  Off to check into our flight, it is on time “so far” so we are hopeful.

I also called Deb and it was great to hear her voice and get some bit of news from home.
