D is for departure

Well here we are in the Emirates lounge waiting for our flight to board. Surreal is starting to feel real at last. That's apart from having to go through passport control twice, because Mum left her boarding pass on the writing bench behind us! Then she put her papers in her handbag and couldn't find them to go through security screening. I've just given them back to her now!! As always, the Emirates lounge is just fab, food is gorgeous and - well that's it. Flight is called, next post will be from the sands of Dubai.
