Doha: check, Killian's bag: nope...
It's absolutely worth the extra miles to Frankfurt to experience the comfort of Qatar Airways: it certainly beats KLM's meatballs hands down. I hardly noticed time and countries flying by before it was time to land in Doha. Aaah the warmth as the cabin ...
It's Official!

The Ramadan Plan
... in his 2 cents worth I'd pretty much had enough of hearing about these crazes. And so I couldn't have timed my arrival in Qatar any better as I became an unwitting member of an eating regimen, which could hardly be called a 'fad', as it traced its roots ...

Call to prayer woke me this morning some time around 4:36 a.m. I didn't mind it as it's nice to hear and usually I had no problem falling asleep again. Obviously there are plenty of mosques around so as I am ...
Qatar's Inland Sea
Booked a night out under the stars at Qatar's Inland Sea which ia about an hours drive south of Doha. The inland sea is more like an ocean inlet. Many Qataris camp overnight in canvas tents on or near it. They then abuse their fourbies by racing along ...
Grand Regency Hotel
... up at a picture of a Falcon standing over its dead prey ( a white bird) with blood gushing from its neck. Tasteful. Falconry is big in Qatar - you can buy one at the markets (Souq). As I ate, it was about 6:00 pm, I heard the sounds of a grand piano and ...

Trip back to Doha
I have added some photos of snow in Washington. My trousers are not meant to withstand snow and wind as I walk to work, shops, eateries etc. I like DC. It was very easy to get around as all street were numbers - North to South and letters - east to ...
Dubai to Doha
Dubai to Doha A short flight of 40 minutes - the plane only gets to 22,000 feet before it drops back to the ground. Had to catch a shuttle bus to the plane and walk up the steps - it was hot! Had a nice aisle seat until a VIP came on board - a rather ...
Hockey Night in Qatar
