The saga DOES continue with our flight to Islamabad, Pakistan. We canceled our reservation with Pakistan Airlines who has a terrible safety record. Even the European Union had seriously considered refusing Pakistan Airlines to fly into their member nations. After Garry's persistence, we are now flying out of Abu Dbahi on Etihad Airlines rather than out of Dubai. Abu Dhabi is 2 hours and 25 minutes from Dubai so we have arranged a driver and limo to take us to the airport. It's just another part of the United Arab Emirates we get to see. If all goes well we plan to arrive in Islamabad at 1:15pm on August 27 to join the rest of the group.
I've received some requests for an itinerary to follow along as we travel on the Silk Road. Rather than retyping everything from the website, please go to the ElderTreks website for our route -

With the last minute items to complete, you know loads of wash, dishes to do, straightening up, I'm packed and ready to go. Just waiting on a friend to take me to the airport and a great adventure. My head scarf is packed.
