Musings from the trip here from Montreal on my iPad to be posted later. The airport here is bustling but not as crazy as I saw in Frankfurt or Istanbul. The peninsula is made up of (see how I do) Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran and I am sure I am missing one or more :). I remember when in Africa I found out there are 53 countries on that continent ... how many can you name :).
Scored exit row again to Hyderabad. Looks like two thirds of the people waiting for Qatar here are of Indian citizenship. I sure do admire the colours that many women wear in their native garb. English is prevalent in Qatar as it apparently is on much of this peninsula. I am not sure if this is where George, Elaine, and George flew through on their way to India for Sue Ellen Mishke's wedding, does anyone know? I am 3.5 hours away from the end of my journey and quite remarkably rested. Montreal to Doha was a mere 11 hours, a shadow of my still longest flight to date of 17 hours from Toronto to Hong Kong. That was not supposed to be that long but was for some reason.
Just google'd the peninsula and forgot UAE! Otherwise I think I got them all. Now for as many countries as I can remember in Africa ... Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, Lesotho, Sudan, Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Chad, Nigeria, Niger, Cote D'Ivoire, Mauritius, Ghana, Tanzania, Botsawana, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Angola ... still only 26 out of 53 :)
