Thanksgiving with extended family was quite wonderful. The day after Thanksgiving my son David drove me to Dulles so I could travel to Katmandu. Anticipating heavy traffic we left very early for a 10 PM flight. As a result I spend a lovely seven hours at Dulles-and there was essentially no traffic. I was at least rewarded with an exit row seat.
I am writing this from the Doha airport, where I have a 9 hour layover. I sprung for a service that included an escort through security and the evening in a very nice lounge. Several cups of coffee, some lunch (dinner) and a shower later, working on a report and waiting to be tossed out at midnight when I will only have a 4 hour wait for my flight. Interesting mix of people here. Men in flowing robes with various types of head covernings, women similarly attired and lots of westerners from various places. I think I have heard a half-dozen languages in the past two hours.
Until tomorow.
