Sipping champagne at 10.30am on a Tuesday morning has got to be good! After several times thinking it might not happen and three to four years in the planning we are finally in our way. We were actually having a cup of coffee in bed this morning at 6.30am when the phone rang to tell us our transfer to the airport had arrived - I had thought they weren't due until 7.15am - so it was a quick shower and off to the airport asap. Our flight to Dubai was uneventful and we are now in the lounge and going to continue our journey in about an hour so I thought I would start my posts.
