... into Kuwait City one evening to hit the famed gold souks to buy a pair of earrings for Debra... marveling at the finely crafted 21 and 22 carat gold jewelry that was displayed in shops packed into the dusty streets of the old part of the city... an area that Saddam's Iraq army was hoping to sack during his invasion and brief takeover of this small country... a local shop owner told me the interesting story of how the owners of the shops packed up their wares and hid them in ...

... luxury hotels and lush parks set along wide avenues. The city's major landmark is the Kuwait Towers, visible from the harbor where oil tankers come and go, docking alongside hundreds of cargo ships and pleasure craft.

... was just thrilled. I know ya'll are looking at the map and thinking that I am like off at war or something crazy like that. I can assure you that everything is perfectly safe and that I am fine. There are already four girls over there. After finding out my destination, I found out that my partner was one of my best friends throughout the training in Brussels.
