A New Dawn
Whilst we are on the final approach down to Dubai City i just thought I'd share this photo with you as we awake to a nice cup of PG Tips and this ...
The bird hunters
I think I may have already shown these on a later trip. But can you believe the locals actual hunt birds by walking under the few trees that exist and then shoot them. Can't believe this is very ...
More Camp & Office
I get to see the sunrise from this side of camp. Pity - it looks pretty much the same as sunset. First day out to the office. The drive is as usual - the locals trying to shoot birds out of the trees, herders taking care of goats, and ...
Patience is a virtue
I'm amazed by the somewhat Jekyll and Hyde transformation that I see in the Arabs between their everyday persona and that which we experience once they get behind the wheel of a car. Everyday I experience the frustrations that many expats experience as ...

Everything went smoothly on my flight from Washington to Kuwait. When I departed my office about 3:15 p.m., I wasn't sure if I would be making it on the plane as the computer showed the flight overbooked by 10 passengers. My trip to West Falls Church ...
Gone to the city for some shopping
The trip was mainly for a change in scenery - the camp, house, and beach can get pretty boring day-in day-out. Journey back into Kuwait City to go to the market with one of the other expats, he needed to buy a call to prayer alarm clock. Saw a mosque ...
Another Day in Paradise
After an unbearable night in the house, it was at least 88F (the highest reading on the thermostat). Unbelievably, it was actually cooler outside than inside. They did get the A/C fixed (woo hoo!) in the afternoon and it was back to normal 'cool' ...
Arrived in Kuwait in the middle of a dust storm!
We landed in Kuwait City in teh middle of a dust storm. I was bummed because we didn't get an aerial view of the city, but quickly learned just how strong the dust storms could be as the wind shook our airplane back and forth while we were sitting ...
Leaving for Kuwait with chef Tony Sassine
... going to the Middle-East. The flight is so long, including the stop over in Amsterdam and the 7-hour time change, I arrive in Kuwait 23 hours after I left NY. As we approach for landing I have my face glued to the window looking for signs of ...
Kuwait - Safe to visit!
Despite the turbulence of its recent history, Kuwait today is once again beginning to reflect its status as an oil-rich nation. In 1990 Iraq claimed Kuwait as its 19th province, but the Iraqis were expelled by a United States led alliance in a short war ...
