Landing in Tehran

It was very exiting and overwhelming, I was worried and happy at the same time. I don't know but thinking about seeing my family after all this time made me very anxious. Finally we landed at Tehran's airport after 4 hours flight, @ 1:00 am on Tuesday July 12. We wanted to get out of the airplane as soon as posible, but that's not how they had planned for us! After 30 minutes we were finally at the stairs to get on the shuttle to go to the airport but then again, it is Iran and everyrthing is different there, there was only one shuttle and it got filled quickly and we had to wait for the next one! Anyway, we got to the airport after 30 more minutes, there was a long line to go through the gates! after another hour, we finally were cleared to enter Iran :) We took the escalator to go down stairs to claim our luggage, then behind the glass wall my wonderful family were standing. I got so exited that I forgot about our luggage and went toward the glass wall and after a brief inaudible communication, I went to get the luggage. It seemed that everything was moving in slow motion, I wanted to go and hug my family but i had to wait and wait and wait, why this line is not moving???? Finally we were greeted with hugs and kisses and more hugs. It was such a nice feeling, we were in Iran and with our family :)
