Keefieboy Returns
Yayy! 3.30 am and we is back in the sandlands. The idiot Keefieboy left the balcony door wide open and the house is full of sand.
Our journey was somewhat blighted by the ridiculously over-the-top security now in place at airports as a result of the alleged (very British word) terrorist plot. The queues for hand baggage x-ray at Manchester Airport were phenomenal but I have to say that the security folks handled it with good humour and incredible efficiency and we got through it in just under an hour. I desperately needed a fag after doing that, and found the naughty corner - an unventilated room containing the world's longest chain-smoke. As part of the security malarkey, all lighters and matches were confiscated, so you had to bum a light from somebody who had a ciggie on the go.
We changed at Istanbul and had to undergo another x-ray check at the gate. This one involved everyone with a laptop switching it on to prove it was real, and caused our flight to leave about half an hour late.
There was a huge queue at passport control in Dubai, yet more x-raying, and then we hit the street. At 3am the temperature was 32°C and the humidity was unbelievable. It's great to be back!
More holiday blogs tomorrow...betcha can't wait.
