Well I'm packing to go home again.Flights to Europe usually leave between 11:58pm - 12: 05am. so I'm never quite sure what day it is that I'm leaving. The Saturday 11:58pm and the Sunday 12:05am will both arrive in Dallas on Sunday. Somewhere in there I lose 10 hours and a functioning brain. Yes it is very confusing. It is like when you arrive at the airport you feel you should go to arrivals gate but no....you have arrived to depart and should, therefore, go to the departure gate. It is amazing I don't miss more flights. David assures me I'm the only one confused by all of this.
The Abu Dhabi airport is very unique (see above). It is like being inside the genie's lamp...no windows and a lot of smoke. This genie has discovered that for a few dirhams more you can get Golden Class service. Instead of second hand smoke and claustrophobia, you get a private escort to a lovely lounge with food, TV and Internet. Worth every penny!!!
Blue-eyesight gets a little cross-eyed when I get to Texas. Who are all these friendly people in cowboy hats??? Where are the burkas, dishdashes, Ferraris? Oh yeah...I'm back home. This is called culture shock and it works both ways.
