After settling into the the Emirates A Lounge, we took it in turns to stretch the legs to find food and water; the task was not very difficult! We boarded a tad late, and therefore took off a bit later, but in true Emirates Style, we made up those minutes and landed a few minutes early. Then began the longish trek from Gate 75 to Customs and Immigration; well we needed the walk after almost 14 hours in the tin tube. We stopped at one of the express kiosks along the walkway, answered some questions, had our photo taken, then collected the printed version (eeeek!!) and therefore didn't have to wait at passport control. That is all well and good if the baggage handlers do their job efficiently or you all end up at the same place anyway (much like people speeding, you often see them at the next traffic light). Tonight, the handlers were on the job and one bag was already on the belt when we got to the carousel, and the other one was about a minute away. We were soon waiting outside in the cold for the Andrews Airport bus to collect us.
At Andrews, we collected our keys and thankfully the CX8 started first go. We loaded her up, and were on our way about 11pm, with little to no traffic on the road.
Greg's green juice was broccoli, spinach perhaps and apple. Both long-haired louts after 3 months
