3:30AM We had to wake up to leave for the airport at 4AM, 3 hours before departure. Christabel was threatening to bail on the trip. After we checked in, we sat down and tried to sort it out. I was trying to give excuses to each party but Rad just blamed me for stirring up drama. I took the hit.
6AM The Yemeni Airline plane arrived.
7AM We left on time. Our plane arrived after 9AM in Egypt. We waited for Christabel's check-in luggage for more than an hour. We then spent the next 5 hours at the lounge.
4PM We went to board the plane for Beirut. The flight was an hour and a half. We got ripped off by the taxi drivers at the airport. We didn't know that all the electronic transactions were already going by the black market rate at around 90,000 LBP per USD instead of 15,000, which was the official rate.
8PM We took an Uber to Babel Bay. It was very expensive and I was to spend more than 100 USD per person. We left for Mayrig but Christabel didn't like having Armenian food so we had dinner at Loris Restaurant. We shared some Lebanese bread and went home at around midnight.
