Dubai again

Was it really almost six weeks ago that I was sitting in almost exactly the same spot hoping this might mysteriously find its way through the ether ... But it didn't then and I doubt if it will now. 

All that crying has blocked up my sinuses so it's been a bit of a puff and blow time, but I had the whole central row to myself and I made claim to it very quickly.  Actually it wasn't a very full flight and so the care and attention was good - salmon for lunch and a mushroom and bacon roll for supper.  No, I didn't!!!

And in all I had about 4 hours of proper lying down across the seats, broken sleep, so that was good and it's still only 8.15pm UK time.  Im hoping the same will apply on this next leg of the journey.  It's much longer of course, but if I can get myself a total of 7 or 8 hours sleep before I get home, I reckon I can face the 5 am start.

These herbal "no jet lag" tablets certainly helped on my way over, and with less pressure immediately I get home, I'm hopeful ... at least.  Between them and the panadol I'm popping to control the dry throat and fuzzy head, I hope NZ lets me in!!

It's an awful long way but I'm pleased I've been.

Ah well ... here we go again!
