• Dubai & Perth.

    June 23 - 26. Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday.

    Dubai & Perth.

    Because of a ticketing issue instead of spending 30 hours in Dubai I ended “in transit” for 3 days. Emirates flights in and out of Australia currently chock a block, rather hard for staff travellers! But it is a very nice benefit, all the same, as a result over of four decades in the industry.

    As a consequence of the delay I had the evening before I left at a drinks and dinner party with some friends and old acquaintances, which was a very pleasurable bonus.

    Left Dubai where the temperature had been 43 deg and extremely humid to arrive in Perth in the evening and it was 6 deg. And then 1 deg overnight. A tad chilly, but beautiful clear, calm and sunny days to follow.

    Nice to be home, but it had been a fabulous wedding and a great time socially surrounding it.

    Thanks so much to Amy and Juergs for the invite, hosting an amazing event and for entertaining a big bunch of us for near on a week. You guys are the best!
    And very hearty thanks to Loyda and Joven for hosting Charlie and myself. Awesome, so appreciative of your hospitality and friendship.

    Happy Days!
