Nairobi Kenya Part 2

Once we arrived at JF Kennedy, it took us more than an hour to find Emirates Airline. The moment we were on plane, I felt relaxed, and settled. I knew this was going to be our longest flight to Nairobi. Emirates Airline has it going on, (it can not get better than that). I heard about Dubai, how elites, and beautiful this country is, but because I also heard of the word 'middle east' I was a bit thrown off. Little did I knew I was in for a big surprise. I loved the comfort of having an individual screen, and an endless list of movies, tv series, games etc. Let me not forget the Indian style food that I enjoyed best... the lamb covered in a mild spicy masala yummy. Unlike other plane's bathrooms, this one was almost like in a hotel, one will forget you're on plane. Finally, the customer service was impressive. They had a special program for the kids visit: Flying with Emirates to learn more. I think it took us about 10 hours to arrive in Dubai a beautiful country, then we took off to Nairobi. I could not believe we were in African. I have been living in the western world for almost a decade. It was a special moment for my family especially this is the first time for my hubby, Bebe, and Diddy to be in the motherland. Words could not describe our joys. Above is the beautiful picture taken right after we stepped outside Nairobi Airport. Nairobi is a beautiful city. It's winter right now, but you can still see greennnnnnnnnnn everywhere you go.
