Hey everyone. Well I made it to Kuwait, but I had some not so luck of the Irish during my layover in Ireland. We were only supposed to have a 2 hour layover, but it ended up being closer to 10, and I didn't even get to see anything other than the airport parking lot!
We finally left and landed in Kuwait around midnight. It was a crisp, cool 102 degrees!!!
For those of you interested in the heat in this part of the world, here's my closest comparison.
Have you ever stood next to a campfire on a hot summer day and felt the heat from it blowing on you? Well magnify that about 10 times and that's what it's like here ALL DAY LONG!!! When Survivorman Les Stroud (yes, I'm bringing him up) was in the Kalahari Desert of Africa, he said he felt like he was being pressure cooked and the wind just sucked the moisture right out of him. Well, that's how I feel here too.
Oh, and the sand! It's always blowing in your face, getting in your ears, mouth, nose... everywhere!
It's good that I have a few days here because getting used to the weather, as well as the time change is important in getting a good start on my time here.
Hope all is well and thanks to all of you for your words of support and encouragement.
Take care!

8 Ways to Speed up Airport Security
If you are uninformed of rules and regulations you could be detained or delayed extremely while short-lived through security checks before boarding the plane.
Here is an only some insights:
1. Never pack any banned items in your hold on bags. Ensure that the luggage is of the true size and weight as outlined by airline system.
2. Before you pace through the metal detector empty your pockets and place all items like coins, jewelry, hair clips, tie clips, watches, belts and buckles into the outer pocket for your carry on luggage so that it moves through the x-ray engine and does not cause a din when you walk through.
3. Wear wise shoes with low heels, slip on shoes are preferable. If you are asked to take away the shoes do so with grace try avoid shoes which have a metal heel arch.
4. Be prepared to switch on your mobile, i-pod, laptop, PDA and so on if asked. Keep them all together. Be sure to switch all electronics off before take off and during landing.airport parking
5. As soon as you enter the security area place the lap top and other hold ones on the conveyor belt for checking by x-ray. Ensure that all cases including your purse has the proper tags.
