So, no three- or six-hour layover somewhere in Europe before I get on another plane to the Middle East. \u00a0Also, no lost luggage, I am carrying it on with me.<br \/><br \/>More good news is that it&#8217;s on the Emirates Airlines new Airbus A380 which I think is now the largest passenger airplane in the world. These are new planes, with 2 levels. \u00a0They had to modify some gates in Terminal D at DFW just to let some these new planes park here and get people on and off. \u00a0Emirates just started flying the A380 into and out of Dallas last month in October, so I hope that the pilots have their route memorized.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f246eb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f246eb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Click on any photo to see a larger view<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65e41563 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65e41563\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5213d1c3\" data-id=\"5213d1c3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47a165bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47a165bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.9.0 - 06-12-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NDE5MywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3N0b25ldHJpcHMuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8xMlwvSU1HXzE4ODcucG5nIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887-768x433.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4193\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/stonetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_1887.png 1136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" style=\"width:100%;height:56.34%;max-width:1136px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-38c8aa3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"38c8aa3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0448747\" data-id=\"0448747\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c25c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18c25c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is on the Persian Gulf and borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman and is just across the gulf from Iran.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>There are seven emirates (like states?) in the UAE.
