shoe entrapment?

So, Ru and I made it safely to ATL. The drive to ORD was totally smooth, and we got to the gate a full two hours early. Plenty of time to get my last egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel for a few weeks ... And to stretch our legs, of course. Funniest moment of the trip so far is the PA system here at ATL: as you're walking along the escalators and moving walkways they announce "beware of soft shoes and sandals, as they can cause shoe entrapment." I'm pretty sure they just mean "be careful you don't get your feet caught and trip," but we found the word choice amusing.

Anyhow, we're about to start boarding for DXB. That's Dubai, UAE for those of you not as obsessed with airport codes. We haven't figured out exactly how long the flight is yet, but we arrive at 7pm local time tomorrow. Our flight to NBO doesn't leave until 3 am, so we're hoping to ditch our luggage and explore DXB (the town, not the airport) for a bit. Las Vegas on steroids, here we come!

Okay, time to go call my husband to remind him that I miss him. Next post, Zanzibar!
