I was up early since I had been awake most of the
night. We went to breakfast in the
concierge lounge and had a light breakfast.
We finished packing and checked out at 9:15. We have a driver picking us up at 9:30 for
the 20 minute drive to the airport. We
had a lot of air travel time coming – I just hope I can keep from coughing the
entire time. The drive to the airport
was quick and uneventful. We got a
porter to help with the luggage and checked in with Qatar Airways. The 3 big bags are checked through to Miami
and we are carrying on what we need for tonight and tomorrow. We get in late and leave early so it will be
a quick turnaround.
We went to the lounge and relaxed while waiting for the
flight to board. I changed the remaining
Rand to USD and I had a little bit of UAE money that I also exchanged since I
have no use for it. Unfortunately, the
transaction was good for the bank and not me with the exchange fees.
The airport is mostly empty being Christmas Eve. I guess not a lot of people are flying. We are hoping we have a mostly empty plane. I was able to make judicious use of the
lavatory to control my coughing fits.
The flight was uneventful – 8.5 hours and we arrived
early. We went directly to our hotel
that is inside security. We went
straight to bed at 11:30 as we need to get up at 6 am.
