... It ended up that the flight patterns to get from Turkey to Kuwait are not so fluid and direct... After being given an option of three flights with various dates, times and airport layovers I chose the best of the three... which ended up having about 10 hours of layovers on my way over to Kuwait and 20 hours on return...  I left school around 1:00, was driven to the airport by one of the school's drivers... which I always enjoy, for this is "captured time" for me, when I get to try ...

... 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. Kuwait is now regarded as a relatively safe destination with plenty to interest the traveller, not only in Kuwait City itself but throughout, from its arid desert plateau to the fertile coastal belt and the nine small offshore islands over which it has sovereignty.

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.

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 ...

... and cop cars, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, etc., etc. I even saw a Dunkin Donuts on the beach. Am I in a suburb in the US or in the Middle East? Oh yeah, it's Ramadan and everything is closed during daylight so I am definitely not in Kansas anymore. Other than that I have just driven around looking at how people here live and work and it's a nice place to spend a few hours. Definitely don't go packing ...

... web before I went and anything I did find said there wasn't anything to do. The only real reason for foreigners to go is to work. And a lot of them do. I probably wouldn't have gone myself if my old boss from Famous Players wasn't there. I stayed with Bill at his place for the time I was there and enjoyed my time in the country. Despite its location, cushioned between Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia I found Kuwait to be very ...
