The Draft House- Concourse D Dubai International Airport – An OFW Travel...

When traveling through Dubai International Airport you will
find yourself in a city within an airport. There is so much to do and see
inside the concourses you might find yourself getting hungry. I was in that
same boat on my last trip through. I had a few hours until my flight boarding
time so I decided I would try out on of the restaurants here in the D
concourse. I selected The Draft House as where I wanted to eat.

I ordered the only steak they had on the menu. It was a 250G
New York steak. It came with curly fries and some broccoli on the side. All in
all it was 130AED (35.00USD) for the meal. That may seem excessive, but then
again you are eating in an airport facility. The food preparation was very
good. The steak did arrive as I asked for it to be cooked. I was really overall
pleased with the meal.

Join along in the video as I explore the food options and
give a quick tour of what you can expect to find in the food court area of
Dubai Airport’s Concourse D. I received no special for this endorsement nor was
I asked to make any comments. This is my honest and true opinion.

Zesty Rotel Mac and Cheese Bake - An OFW Cooking and Food Review Video

A little treat as we
prepare a zesty Rotel Mac and Cheese casserole. It was a rare treat that we
enjoyed from a package received from my sister, Carolyn. She had sent this in a care package we received recently. 

We had a good time preparing it and then had the guys do a taste test. It is not often they get to try anything other than curry and rice. I think this went over pretty good with the team here as there was nothing left once everyone had gotten a chance to eat. 

A-300 FROM UNLOAD TO UPLOAD – AN OFW EXPERIENCE

A-300 FROM UNLOAD TO UPLOAD – AN OFW EXPERIENCE

The Airbus A300 is a wide-body medium-to-long range airliner; it has the distinction of being the first twin-engine wide-body aircraft in the world. Sometimes you find yourself in a difficult situation when trying to download or upload this aircraft. There are no automated rollers on this flight and all cargo must be pushed our pulled to the loading door.

To adjust for the weight in the plane, a pallet cannot be simply pushed down the plane and right out the doors. You have to adjust the load for each pallet unloaded or loaded to keep the plane from tipping. As each pallet is shifted out the door, other pallets must be brought forward to adjust the weight in the plane. Heavier pallets can be a struggle to get out or in the aircraft. You need to have some heavy pushers to move the pallet down the plane. Often this entails exerting all you have into pushing or pulling the pallets.  Without a full staffed crew it makes it even more difficult as you have others on forklifts and the highloader to perform their jobs as well. We have been in some tough situations before, but we always seem to manage. Completing a full download within an hour is quite an accomplishment for our little team here.

Not many would be willing to put forth the effort or determination to get the job done here this team preforms. They work long hours at times without much rest. Sometimes they go straight from loading and unloading containers to working either a 747, an IL76 or an A-300 such as this. Then after the download is completed they are out to make the deliveries so the task can be completed. This is called dedication to the job and team work. This team takes a whole lot of pride in all they do and I could not be more proud of them. 

FLOWERS AND TREES - A STROLL THROUGH MALY'S GARDENS - A GLIMPSE AT LIFE ...

A Walk Around Maly’s Garden - A Glimpse of Life in the Philippine
Province

Flowers and trees - Maly loves to have plants growing all
over. It matters not if they are edible or just for show and tell. She enjoys
them all. She is often busy trying to make our yard look better by planting
different plants here and there.  From
her plants out at Maly’s Country Market to brighten the landscape, to the ones
she has out front around our porch and finally the multiple fruit trees she has
planted in our back yard.

We take a short walk around to see what all is in Maly’s
Garden. We hope you will come along and enjoy your walk with us. There are way
more plants than I can come up with names for. If I know the names, I will try
to let you know what it is she has growing.

PAINTING PROJECT UPDATE - A Glimpse of life in the Province

We managed to finally complete the painting on the inside of the house. We have now begun to make it look more like a home than a construction zone. We have added pictures and decorations to the walls along with shelving and other nick-nacks Maly has collected. The master bath is still a work in progress, but hopefully one day soon this too will be complete. Our front porch has now been tiled and we are ready to welcome you through our doors with open arms.

Walking to Grandma's House for a Visit A Glimpse of Life in the Province

Grandma’s house is just down the road from us. No need to
worry about the BIG bad wolf, but she does have plenty of barking dogs. 

It is
interesting visiting with Grandma as she is an avid gardener and has many
plants growing in her yard. This is just a quick little video of an evening
walk down to Grandmas and viewing some of her yard. The Barangay is to put in a
new road, so they moved her fence back a meter. Now we will see if the new road
gets accomplished anytime soon.
