Flight to forever

Woohoo! And our big day finally passed.. It's been a long one year wedding preparation but we totally enjoyed every day and night of it kahit kaka-stress talaga.

I wasn't able to update this blog for quite a while, but as the saying goes.. "It's better late than never". So I'll start my kwento from our flight going home to the Philippines (^_^)

                           

 

We woke up at 4:00 am to catch the 05:30 am complimentary shuttle bus from Chelsea Tower in Dubai going to Abu Dhabi International Airport provided by Etihad Airways.

The bus trip going to Abu Dhabi was smooth and fast. But prior to that we got really pissed with the service provided to us at the bus waiting area. When we checked-in our luggage the day before our flight, we were instructed by the Etihad Airways colleague who checked-in our bags to be at the bus stop exactly at 05:00 am in order for us not to miss the shuttle bus because she gave us the last two seats. But then when we arrived there at 04:45 am, the security officer who was facilitating the boarding of passengers to the bus told us to wait for the 6:30 am bus because the bus is full and that we have ample time to be at the airport since our flight will leave at 10:15 am. Imagine the frustration we felt that time!! We woke up very early because we were told to come early then when we arrived we were told to wait for one hour?!?

But thank God the security officer noticed us and listened to our explanations and afterwards allowed us to get on the 05:30 am bus.

We were welcomed by a pleasant morning weather in Abu Dhabi

Our ticket going home!

I was thinking "after 8 to 9 hous we'll be in the Philippines " (^_^)

Our flight left early at 09:45 am Abu Dhabi local time and arrived in the Philippines at 11:00 pm last October 26, 2012 three weeks prior to our wedding day. Yipee! We're finally home after two and a half years (^_^)
