The journey to Dubai!


After a long wait at the check in, (as there's ten of us who needed to check in) we finally board on to the world's biggest passengers plane! - We were flying with the Emirates! We were very excited with what we had, a TV (yes, some movies were subtitled- woooo), free food, free drinks, a blanket, a cushion and a pair of headphones! The journey was 6 hours and 29 minutes- 3584 miles! That was only to Dubai- not including to Manila and to Cebu!

We were given a hot towel to wash our face and hands (I think that's what we were supposed to do with it!) and we were given a menu! Our dinner for the plane was

Appetiser- Smoked Salmon- served with a pesto flavoured potato salad, topped with cherry tomato.

Main Course- was either-

Yoghurt Chicken- pan-fried chicken topped with a creamy and mild yoghurt curry sauce, served with steamed basmati rice and sautéed fresh spinach.

OR

Welsh Lamb Stew - traditional slow-braising stew, with chunky mashed potatoes, home style sautéed beans and carrots.

Dessert- Sticky Toffee Pudding - moist sticky toffee pudding drenched in a rich toffee sauce

Beverages-'Tea or Coffee

Before Landing- A selection of beverages will be offered with a sweet treat.


I hope I didn't make you jealous there?! ;)

I was very excited to see Maleficent as one of the movies that were captioned as I've been wanting to see it! So I settled down and started to explore what was on the tv screen- they had music, tv programmes, movies and games!!

I watched Maleficent, listened to music and ate food happily. When it was nearly time to land, - about 2 hours or less to go, I tried to sleep for a bit, but I could not get comfortable and then the next thing I knew, we were in Dubai!

After going through another security check, we found that Chelsea has lost her presents for the host family and that Joe left behind his belt at the security check- HAHA!

We quickly investigated the posh Dubai airport and waited to get onto our EK334 plane to Manila!
