3. JetSet: 27 December '08

The day had finally come (after a countdown of over 200 days)! I was so excited!


Emirates airline was very good. The staff was helpful and friendly. I was just happy to be provided with a selection of movies and series to watch onboard. That was already good enough for me. We listened to a bit of music, as we lifted off the ground. Not long and George was fast asleep, as usual. After what felt like a good few hours I also fell asleep, not a deepsleep, but an energynap-type sleep. It felt like fifteen minutes or so. The hostess asked if we want coffee or tea. Breakfast time. Yes, at 6'o'clock in the morning. Still pitchblack outside. An hour before we land at our stopover destination, which by the way is always Dubai when you fly with Emirates.

We were wide awake, waiting in anticipation to land in a foreign country. Our stopover wasn't too long, and we were on the plane ready for the next 8 hours to Heathrow Airport. We landed at about 3pm on the 28 December.
