For those of you wondering why I was missing in action the last couple days, stay tuned for a fascinating report that will cover my time in Dubai and Oman, but primarily Iran–yes, Iran.
And there was drama in Iran. Lots of it.
I am back safely in Dubai and am now trying to figure out how to get back to Frankfurt tonight–I missed last night’s flight and because it was such a cheap ticket, bmi (issuing carrier) and Lufthansa (operating carrier) have both refused to change the ticket for tonight.
Happily, award space (albeit only in economy class) is available on the n/s Lufthansa flight, so I have that as a back-up.
To top it all off, I have another cold–a lingering cough that I cannot seem to shake and a runny nose.
Trust me, you’re going to want to check back here in the coming days to read what the last few days have been like.

Problems with customs? 😮
This I am looking forward to.
Glad you’re safe… if slightly bugridden 🙂
Feel better, Matthew… can’t wait to hear about Iran. Wow!
I assume the title of your next post will not be “Feeling at Home in Iran”.
Was this an award ticket?
@Ben: Originally I was on a revenue ticket, but I purchased an award ticket yesterday to get back to FRA.
@Gene: ROTFL. Correct.
