In Dubai :)

Hey kids,

So I've made it to Dubai with only one flight left - woohoo! I'm trying to think of interesting highlights for you guys but I have a splitting headache so thinking is really hurting. But here goes :)

Got to share the first flight with Bec, a friend from church on her way to Cambodia. It was so lovely, both of us were a bit nervous and keen to have a familiar face around, and a kind shoulder to slobber on when we finally fell asleep! I think between us we got about two hours but oh well! I then waved Bec off at KL, sat around the airport for a while longer (like, 6hrs longer!), read some Blue Like Jazz, wrote in my journal, read some briefing notes, read more of Blue Like Jazz, made a list of random things, watched people, made shadow puppets and fiiiiinnnallly boarded for Karachi!

Had a chat in the boarding lounge with a lovely guy from Canada, he worked as an aid worker in East and Central Africa for some years, notably Rwanda during and post-genocide 1994. However he had family in Aus and had to choose between the two so is now living in Melbourne driving taxis - crazy!

I checked in for my accra flight just before (in dubai airport) only about 12 hours early hehe. Going to find something to eat then a nice spot on the carpet for some snoozing. Everyone looks like joel scot, mr david or yassa arafat, or some unique combination of all three, though my half dead whitey face is gaining me some attention haha, i reaallly need some sleep hey!

thanks to all the cool cats who made it to the airport and today's blog shout out goes to dear joccie for her christmas stocking and cool pressies! love you all!

much love, Laura xx

well i'm not missing you yet.

slightly envious though.

i never knew your clothes were so flammable.

oh well, when you get home you will probably have a greater appreciation of the little things, so you won't care, right?

good luck with those dreadlocks
