Off we go

January 29th and we get a lift to Heathrow with Mary, and then queue along with many other economy travellers to check in. Travelling together, the actual travelling which is the queuing and finding the passports and navigating the security is the test! I think that it is as much a discipline for Richard to travel with Liz who is unfazed as it is for Liz to watch Richard becoming various colours towards incandescent as things don't seem to go plan. But we had reestablished cordial relations by the time we got through to departures and an uneventful flight landed us in Dubai. We are quite good at Dubai but as it was foggy it was not so easy to see if the taxi driver was going to Nick and Amanda's house, one of the travellers was doubtful about the ability of the driver, but didn't need to be. Fog lifted, and revealed a lovely day, House 9, Street 8, all now in its glory, see photos of smart house, smart pool, Nick and Amanda, little boys and a visit from various Crossman relatives. We are looking forward to a good sleep.
