Last days of 2005

The roster for January is really outrageous!!! I really think there is a conspiracy at Crew Scheduling to make me either insane or to convince me to leave this place soon...

Here it goes:

01JAN: Dubai - Damascus (Syria) - Dubai (which means I have to wake up at 4am)
02JAN: day off
03JAN: day off
04JAN: rest day
05JAN: Dubai - Singapore
06JAN: Singapore - Melbourne (for 18 hours only)
07JAN: Melbourne - Singapore
08JAN: Singapore
09JAN: Singapore - Dubai
10JAN: day off
11JAN: Dubai - Islamabad (Pakistan) - Dubai
12JAN: rest day
13JAN: Dubai - Lagos (Nigeria)
14JAN: Lagos - Dubai
15JAN: rest day
16JAN: day off
17JAN: day off
18JAN: Dubai - Lagos (see that!!! Once is bad enough, twice is brain damaging)
19JAN: Lagos - Dubai
20JAN: rest day
21JAN: day off
22JAN: rest day
23JAN: Dubai - New Delhi (India) - Dubai
24JAN: holidays until Feb 4th

Which proves that the Emirates 'Wish to fly to' system works in such a way:

Vicente: I want to fly to Paris
System: Ok, I give you EK 404 (SIN-MEL)
Vicente: Please, please, please, give me any flight to Germany!!!
System: Fine, I give you two flights to Lagos.
Vicente: But Lagos is not in Germany
System: But you did not say you did not want Lagos!!!
Vicente: Yes, but I said I want Germany!!!
System: So I give you Islamabad to make up for it!

And this drives me to the edge...

At least all is not lost! I have holidays and will go to either Iran or Yemen for 4 days and than on to Morocco to meet up with Nuno and Patricia, who will be flying from Brazil. We will rent a car and drive around Morocco for a week!
