We left Auckland with some sadness as we hadn't seen enough of the city, but the flight to Sydney and then Dubai went without a hitch. It was just rather long!
The entertainment on Emirates is first class, though, and for once the person sitting in front of me on the plane did not recline her seat right back into my face!
Arrival in Dubai was at 05:10 and we took a taxi to meet Marie at a hotel almost next to her flat.
It's the first time we've seen this flat, and the balcony has a great view of the Burj Khalifa.
Harris has grown a lot since we saw him in December and is, of course, a little poppet!
Homeward bound

Three-hour flip from Auckland to Sydney then 14 1/2 hours to Dubai on Emirates A380.
Great service as ever and time passed quite quickly thanks to five movies and two episodes of The West Wing.
In at 0515 and made it to Marie and Craig's an hour or so later.
They had got back only a few hours earlier from skiing/snowboarding in the Alps.
Harris looking super at breakfast before being taken out in warm sunshine. big contrast to the minus 10C of last week.
