How things start speeding up when you turn for home; just like they did for me when I used to ride horses and anytime I these days when I walk with Ali. We shared breakfast with Sandy at our local Metro Cafe and then she checked out to move to the Champs Elysee area. We’ve really enjoyed her company and input over the last 2 weeks, although we appreciate different things when we travel, we have all been prepared to compromise. We checked out and waited for the shuttle bus to Charles de Gaulle airport. And waited, and waited..... My nails took a beating as I became more and more stressed at being late for departure while the reception desk clerk was very relaxed about it all. Eventually the driver did turn up half an hour late and then had to do 2 more hotel pick ups! I was not happy standing in the queue at Air Emirates, but with all the staff they had on hand it moved quickly and we soon had the boarding passes in hand. It was six and a half hours to Dubai so I managed to watch 2 films (Rabbit Hole and The Tourist). We transferred to Ibis Hotel in the centre of the city at about 1:30 am (local time) having lost 2 hrs in transit. Next door it the Novotel and as they are the same company we have access to their pool and gym along with all our facilities. Not sure we’ll have time to use much of it though as we really only have 2 full days here. So not many pics to share today unless you want to see us waiting in the hotel lobby, waiting at the airport, waiting on the plane.......In each of the countries we have travelled I can read my blog entries in English but all the tabs and links to log in or edit etc are in the local language. Up to now I have been able to work it out but these Arabic ones have got be tossed.
