Tuesday Night at the Millennium - Doha

I made it to Doha. We were late leaving Abu Dhabi because a "delegation" had to board. The plane pulled away from the terminal then stopped, and a ramp-truck came to the door. Then 5 or 6 black and white limos pulled up, and a dozen or so men in suits, and local dignitaries got out. They said farewells, then the dozen suits came on the plane -- and went to back of economy class, even though business class was almost empty!! When we go to Doha, everyone but the "delegation" had to wait while they got off. There were about 100 people lined up to greet them. Later, I found out the delegation was the President of Iceland, and his support staff. Guess he decided to leave Iceland for warmer weather!!

In Doha I'm next to the Centre Shopping mall, and surrounded by KFC, McDonald, Chili's, Subway, etc -- just like any city in the US!
