Off to the Airport

December 28th, 2012 at 02:21 pm

The flight for DD2 and her husband is running about 30 minutes late. Otherwise, we'd already be on our way to the airport.

We got some new blackout curtains in the living room. We were hoping to have a "grand unveiling" to show them the view from our apartment. Wouldn't you know it that tonight appears to be the worst weather in Dubai this year? I hope the haze clears, though I'm not expecting the wind to die down. It has a few hours to go, because Dubai customs and immigration are very slow.

We're planning to arrive at the airport in plenty of time to get them. They plan to stay about 10 days. We have lots of plans for them, but they'll get to choose which things to do or not.

    Made me laugh in recognition of how every time I take a visitor to the Arch here in St Louis, we have a day of low, dense clouds makingthe view from the Arch is nothing more than grey fuzz.
    I bet your black-out curtains will be useful anyhow, what with the bright sun reflecting off the ocean.
    Enjoy having your family! Smile

    I have a great picture of the StLouis Arch. I had a 12-20 lens with me, so I stood under it and got a view from concrete pier to concrete pier. Of course, there's some distortion to the picture. The arch looks curved. (rimshot!)
