The time I have been waiting for after months. Formerly, I used to travel quite habitually and my insignificant others would always say how fluky I am. Whilst most of you are getting back to the UAE after their long hot summer holidays it's my turn to pack my bags and head back for a petite lull. I can try to estimate the rush at the arrivals terminals with families and friends waiting to catch up with their loved ones.

Hoping the kids can see mannequins at the airport welcoming them back to the UAE with smiles. I also can envisage the hurdles of the traffic on the first day when schools will re-open.

Parents and kids will be busy with doing their last-minute shopping, wringing attire, setting their alarm, packing tiffin boxes and stirring up early morning to head to school for another semester. During my times it was never like a carnival with big dialogues besides the fact that we could catch up with our classmates. With all this I am also arranging the move to find free parking spots so I can avail the metro.
