We were cleared through security, waiting for our return flight after a fun filled vacation. Yatching, riding over the sand dunes, that nearly had us puking our guts out. But I guess the thrill was so overpowering, reverse osmosis of the gut admitted defeat. Good for us! Four hours wait is a long time to sit at the departure gate, counting buttons. We gravitated to the lounge area. It was close to midnight, with not many passengers filling up the seats. Ahh! forgot to mention it was 31st Decemer. Clock ticking away to the zero zero hours. Checked our surroundings to see if we were drawing unwarranted attention from the airport security staff. None! At the stroke of midnight, out came the bottle with the Orange juice label. One of us had smuggled the bottle in citing being diabetic and risk of drop in sugar levels. It worked. Rummaged through our bags for a brown paper packet. Yippie! What luck! Brown paper wrapped bottle was passed from hand to hand, each taking a long swig like soldiers sitting in a trench. Orange label whiskey tasted so good!!! Specially had on the sly in a middle East country airport. Midnight adventure that still makes me double up with laughter. #midnightadventure #yqbaba #mirakee #mirakeeworld #mirakeewriters #read
