I went to sleep right after take-off and slept solidly for nearly 7 hours.

Today's amuse bouche...
Poached lobster tail and masala prawns...
Oh yeah!
Seasonal salad with seared tuna.
Laal maas. Spicy lamb served with curry sauce, minced lamb, morel mushroom pilaf, stuffed chili pakora, masala carrots and potatoes. Wow and good spicy.
Apple ginger crumble with creme anglaise and vanilla ice cream.
Almost to O'Hare.
Another frigid day in Chicago.
Cool nose cam pic of our landing.
CBP was a breeze especially with the new Global app which lets you bypass the Global Entry kiosks. From the gate to outside CBP in less than 10 minutes with most of that time queuing with the masses as the exit. How about a Global Entry exit??
Love the T1 tunnel between the B and C concourses.
LOL. I'm sure your Business pax love seeing this.

Pathetic United no longer serves meals on flights under 900 miles even gaming the system to claim distances are less than actual. United claims ORD-DEN is less than 900 miles but...
At least I knew this so I stopped at the T3 food court.
What a memorable trip to Cape Town and Antarctica, and some 48 hours with Emirates First Class. Thanks for following along,
