People NEVER come through Emirates Terminal 3 in less than 45 minutes. It's a sheer impossibility because the planes have to park 4 miles away in Sharja and then the luggage takes 20 min to load and come down on the belt!
So when Aidan was due to land at 5.25am, we left home at 6.05am to pick him up. Beautiful sunrise and no traffic....at 6.15 we were greeted with a missed call and a voicemail saying: "Hey mom, I'm here and waiting for you at Costa's in the arrival hall" - WHAT????
We ran in and there he was, tall, handsome, grinning from ear to ear - with hair on his head :)
....and very smelly !
Slim pee'ed all over the drive way, all over the floor and all over the bed spread in the guest room, he was so excited to see Aidan again. Guess he hasn't outgrown his "happy pee".
After chatting up a storm, Aric has left for work, Hunter is at school and Aidan and I spent the morning going through his 2 boxes of clothes and stuff. We were able to get rid of so much and consolidated 2 into one box. This will now go via sea freight to the US. No sadness - just realization that he is starting his grown-up life. He skateboarded to Dubai International Academy to pick up Courtney from her exam.
The Ault family is whole again :)
