Managed a good sleep last night but we were both wakened by 6am this morning. Unsure
if nerves or excitement!! Jim picked us up at 9.30am and we were ready to head - No time for hanging around. Arrived at Glasgow airport in no time, right through check in and customs and sat and had a coffee and beer in departure lounge. Very quiet but the girl who served us said that the airport was busy busy all morning. Loads of Rangers supporters heading to Alicante for the Europa league game. Glad we missed that but was annoyed that we had only missed the team who had gone through about an hour before us. Lol. That would have been a great photo for the album, and grandad!
First flight to Dubai which was 7.5hrs. Before boarding we got speaking to a young girl who was on her own and first time out of Orkney. She was heading to Melbourne, Australia via Dubai. Think she was happy to talk to someone. She was only 20yr old and heading to live with a friend for 4 months. She said her mum was in tears when she left and I would imagine she'd have been well warned following the tragic murder of British backpacker in NZ.
Good flight once again and I managed to sleep most of the way.
