Winns Travel to the UAE

We woke up at 3:00 in the morning in order to arrive at the airport on time to catch our flight to Dubai. What a trip! We had two stops along the way--one in New York and the other in Greece. The best part of the trip was seeing New York and the Greek islands from our airplane. New York's Central Park was engulfed by buildings which made the park look like a rectangular fortress. The Greek islands looked so relaxing and isolated. A place you go to get lost and are perfectly fine never finding your way back. Boats randomly crisscrossed between each island drawing a long white wake behind them. From the airplane, you could only wonder about the boats occupants and their destinations.

Before we reached New York, we swooped around then descended downward and just before landing we could see the manicured back yards of stately colonial houses. These houses reminded us of the movie Sabrina and people who live in a different world from ours.

We landed safely in New York and as usual for New York we had to wait for our plane to be taxied to a different gate. We were a nervous because our next fight was departing, but fortunately we made the connection.

From New York, we flew to Athens. We were dead tired walking through the Greece airport. To make matters worse we had a six hour layover.

In the airport, we found a restaurant which had long soft couches Being incuspicuious as possible we made are way towards them in exhausted despration. They were sure soft! All the kids crashed on them. We looked so at of place in the restaurant, but it didn't matter the sofas so comfortable.

From Greece, we traveled to Dubai. The two previous fights service were lousy at best. We boarded Emirates Airline and we felt like we had walked into first class comfort. The kids each got treats and toys and the flight attendants actually talked to us and were interested in our comfort. To say the least we were flying in style. It was just good to end the trip in comfort.

At the Dubai Airport, Johnson picked us up and we traveled by bus to Fujairah. We thank our Heavely Father for a save trip home.
