OK, so I did take a detour via Toronto but more airline delays and nightmare traffic on the roads did not help. I have to say though, the idea of flying through Canada to get to the States is not as mad of an idea as you would think. You actually clear US immigration in Canada which takes minutes ... rather than the hours it has often taken in Miami, New York and LA ... food for thought.
The one (& only) highlight of my journey home was seeing a take-off and landing of a HUGE Emirates A380. In a bizarre way, it reminds me of that Disney cartoon "Dumbo" ... when he learnt to fly. It's awkward ... but thankfully ... effective!
Home for just a few days ... Abu Dhabi beckons! Yay!
