... underground bunkers located in the desert outside the city limits... to safeguard from Iraqi pillaging...  Gluttonously eating from the hotel's breakfast buffet... which served up a wealth of fine foods from around the globe... full grained breads, aged cheeses, smoked salmon and fresh fruit in every color and cut...  Jogs along the coast... along flat terrain... a luxury I can't find around the steep hills of Ankara...  Finding a cool Magic Set at a nearby mall... for my son Aidan ...

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 in 1991, and now the country is separated from its threatening neighbor by a wall along its border. The ruined capital, Kuwait City, has risen from the ashes of war to become a buzzing metropolis with gleaming high rises ...

At least one good thing during Ramadan. Met up with my old technical manager from my chemical plant days. Wasn't expecting to run into him over here.

Our new home - ain't it great? Not only do we have air conditioning - we have better TV station channels, internet, and better restaraunts.

Went into Fahaheel for dinner tonight. Ate at a Lebanese restaurant located out on the water front. And a very nice surprise on the return to the guest house - the AC died. It was 80F inside at 8:30 pm. At least we were able to get electricians to look at it. But unfortunately ...

... told me to take a seat in first class. It was a quick ten second visit but worth it and very nice of him to upgrade me to first class. It gets better though. A few minutes later the flight attendant came to me and said my jumpseat was ready and for me to sit up there. I said to myself, "huh?"

... really good money, as I was paid in dinars. The exchange rate was awesome back then. I also taught swimming lessons at the Arabian Sea Club, which was a salt-water pool (interesting). I dated the Charge-d'affaire's son while I was there. He was a fun guy my age, who worked in a pool cleaning business. He went to school at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and was also there for the summer. He was majoring in ...
