Africa Panic

I just had to post about boarding our Emirates flight that goes to Accra then to Dubai.

There is a tour group of Africans that rushed to the gate as soon as it was announced - which is the norm we have discovered. Not sure if they are afraid their might not be enough seats or what. You can imagine that they also just bunch up at the gate. The security guard made them all stand in single file. Panic can be seen on their faces with this strict process. Someone isn't going to make it on and none of them want it to be them. They are looking at us with concerned looks like we are going to miss out and if they could tell us they would.

I have also learned that a bucket is not an allowable carry on for Emirates. Weird I know. So far 3 buckets have been left behind...

Now that the mass has boarded, we get to board...in single file of course!
