Dubai to Subiaco

Today began as we arrived at an enormous terminal at Dubai airport - jumped into one of 4 or 5 enormous glass elevators that all work in unison carrying hundreds of people at once, then onto a fast, driverless train to another enormous terminal and into a very comfortable Emirates' lounge.

We sat back with a glass of wine and watched the Federer Djokovic match from London with 4 other people, before I did a bit of last minute gift shopping for Ash and Mila, and we made the long, long walk to our exit gate and onto the Boeing 300 - nowhere near as luxurious as the A380 but still very comfortable, especially as we managed to get front row seats.  Then breakfast was served at what seemed to be a ridiculous hour, our beds were made up for us  and we both managed to get a few hours of solid sleep.

The 11 hour flight seemed to pass quite quickly and we both loved the middle-eastern lunch that was served a couple of hours before we landed in Perth at 5:35pm.  Then a pleasant drive home to a spotlessly clean house, with vases of fresh flowers and a royal welcome from Kerri and Ozzie the wonder dog!

Oh it is so lovely to be home.
