An Eventful Journey

The journey couldn’t have been worse! The only (and only) satisfaction is that I’ve finally made it to Abu Dhabi. I can write a book over this but I really wish to forget this one. The highlights of this much awaited trek include:

• Chaos at the airport entrance due to renovations by CAA, which resulted in a one-hour wait in a queue (was there a queue????)
• Passport Control at Jinnah International, Karachi, where a bunch of illiterate old asses were keying in the passenger info and taking helluva time
• Delay in flight, but this wasn’t unexpected!
• People evironing me in the plane. Oh they were disgusting, and I mean it. With no offence at all, but you can’t really feel good when the people around you remove their shoes and you’re forced to inhale the stinking socks!
• Technical faults at the Dubai International Airport. Apparently, the gate wasn’t opening and the aircraft was told to move to another parking spot.
• A long line at the Visa Collection Center…aaahh!!! At this time I was exhausted!
• But the fun wasn’t over! A HUGE queue at passport control awaited us where a rude lady welcomed me to Dubai!
• And then when I finally got out I thought this was over and I could go home in the next 2 hours, I was immediately proved wrong. Actually my dad gave the car for valet parking, and they took more than 30 minutes to get the car back from somewhere they park (or rather dump) it!!
