Getting Ready to Leave

Well it is getting close to the time for me to head to the airport. I think I have everything in order. I went to buy some Riyalls this morning but they don't carry that type of currency. Thanks to Rhea, I have a suitcase that fits my all my clothes and even an extra pair of shoes! I was just looking up the local customs in Qatar and men and women embracing in public is strictly forbidden - so I guess it is good that Marcia is not coming along with me. :o( Hopefully I will be able to update this blog while I am away so that I can let you know about what I am learning and doing on the other side of the world.
