I arrived at the airport to find an escort holding my name. Maybe its just a little embarressing for a traveller to have someone help them through the customs/visa line, but I soon got over my pride by getting in the front of all lines and by not directly paying for anything (as the company was hired by my mother). Once out of the airport I started to notice all the men wearing scarves, and just really all the men. Where are the women? While driving in the car I notice virtually no women in...

YEAH THE FRIGGIN SANDBOX WAS AN OVEN to say the least! Most people could handle it but the duststorms and sandflies were bad!  This was one place I was ready to get out of. At least it was a short trip to Dubai in the UAE to get away from it all.

Its not really a vacation but I can't live in a country for four months and not say anything about it!

I was in Kuwait for a few months in the summer of 2004. I was able to get out and see Kuwait City a couple times. It is something else to drive by a herd of camels and then McDonalds.

we moved around a lot within Kuwait till we got to our Camp out in the desert.  Besides the sand storms and the boredom everything was pretty much ok.  On Christmas Eve we crossed the line and for the next 12 months it was no looking back.

Well its a nice and warm 108 degrees in Kuwait right now, and its only 1030 in the morning. The heat out here is insane!! I can't wait to leave here and go on my vacation. Its official, I'll be in Adelaide, Australia on the 15th of October! Anyone wanna meet up, just let me know! Its going to be my first time there, so I won't know where to go or how to get there! I have a friend that lives there that is going to let me stay at her place for the trip. so I'll have plenty of free money to have...

Ok if you've never heard this song you've been under a rock or freeze-dried for the last 30 yrs so I recomend you come out from under there or thaw you'reself. As you can see I've made it back to the hole to finish out my last few months. I did manage to get over to Dunlop on the 15th and had a look about. Not much there but a gorgeous place. Check out the pics in my photo album.   I left my beloved Scotland on the 16th and flew back to Kuwait, arriving just after midnight. I te...

In a perfect world with no flight cancellations or delays, and where someone could hop from plane to plane within 15 minutes, how many countries can a person visit in the shortest possible time? Here's one possibility using July 2006 timetables.

Zwischenlandung in Kuwait City. Ziemlich viele US-Soldaten an Bord, die hier das Flugzeug verlassen. Der Irak ist eben nicht weit entfernt...

But like all soldiers heading home, our tolerance for bullshit increases so no one cared about the noise or the heat.  That is until we landed in Kuwait. For those of you that have never been to Kuwait or at least the Army bases near the boarder I would recommend wearing as little as possible.  While I and those around me were not afforded such options the heat was intense.  We filed off the planes onto busses and began another round of paperwork and were reminded yet again t...
